Artist Bio
Keith Athay
Keith ‘Kitt’ Athay has been an established seascape and abstract artist for over 20 years, exhibiting his contemporary collages extensively in the UK, and also internationally, in New York and the Hamptons, San Francisco, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Athay had what he describes as a ‘Huck Finn’ childhood in Somerset, which set his lifelong passion for being outdoors. An innate love of experimenting with different textures and materials turned him into an artist at a young age, and he studied at Bath College and the University of South Wales.
Kitt attaches materials such as sheet music, historic maps, poems, botanical diagrams and newspaper cuttings to canvases to create a background for his artwork. The viewer initially sees a coastal scene but on closer inspection they discover a whole, world of text and illustration lying beneath the paint layers, exciting the senses and taking them on a voyage of discovery and limitless adventure.

We were looking for a unique piece for my parents 50th anniversary. The ladies were very helpful and gave great ideas what pieces represented. We chose a lovely puffin sculpture called rocky romance. I would definitely recommend this gallery who wants one to one custom, knowledge of their pieces.Rachel Cowel

Fantastic service from the Beverley gallery. Both David and Evie were helpful and knowledgeable. We decided on 2 Tom Butler prints and David was happy to bring them to our home so we could see them in situ and answer any questions we had. We are delighted with both and would definitely recommend Trent GalleriesCathy Scarr
