Ash Keating wields a fire hydrant, a lawn seed spreader and a leaf blower to apply paint. His artistic toolkit looks less Picasso and more like the Bunnings hardware aisle.

His large outdoor murals are seen across Melbourne, but his most recent works will be installed in an old Victorian mansion in St Kilda. For Duality, his first show with Linden Gallery of New Art, he took a unique approach to both creating and the exhibit itself.

Rather than showing the same works for three months, in a first for both Keating and curator Juliette Hanson, Aerial will show until March 28, then be replaced with the second body of work, Fall. His four-metre-high works will be suspended from the ceiling, taking up the whole space from floor to ceiling. They’re purposefully, defiantly not created for viewing on a phone screen.

The process of change, both growth and erosion of the natural world, informed both Aerial and Fall, Keating explains.
