“Keeley uses methods of layering and a reduced style of composition to create works which are both traditional but definitively contemporary”

Created for the exhibition 'Portrait (for a Screenplay) of Beth Harmon,' at Tenderpixel.

The novel 'The Queen’s Gambit,' was the starting point of this unique project. The plot follows the life of Beth Harmon, an orphan who is discovered to be a chess prodigy, at the age of 8, through to adulthood. Artists were invited to expand the character of Beth.
