The The
Zebadiah Keneally, Printmaking, Senior, Syracuse University
The The serves to celebrate the beauty of the basic elements of
printed communication. Created using simple, repetitive bookmaking techniques
and a CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) color scheme-the primary colors
of printed material-the work draws attention to vital elements from which
rich complexities are achieved. The triangle shape of the work echoes
its folds and provides a wealth of historical symbolism as well as visual
complexities from shadows cast as The The hangs on a wall. However,
it is not meant to be a didactic piece; the title has been chosen for
its ambiguity, to allow one to interpret the work as is necessary and
relevant. Created in 2007 in an edition of three.
Zebadiah Keneally, who was born and raised in Stratford, Connecticut,
studies printmaking in the College of Visual and Performing Arts. Having
been exposed to fine arts in various forms when a child, he began his
creative exploration by drawing and writing graffiti before commencing
formal study in printmaking. Zebadiah works primarily in drawing and printmaking;
however he paints and continues to explore other mediums of expression.
His work has been displayed several times at Spark Contemporary Art Space
in Syracuse, as well as in the Drawing Room at the University. He has
also shown in Fairfield, Connecticut, and in the Southern Graphics Counsel
trade exchange portfolio.
