Richard Killeen was born in 1946, and lives and works in Auckland. His diverse body of work includes hard-edged realism as well as abstracts and he is best known for his iconic, aluminum, cut- out works he started developing in 1978. By 1987 Killeen had begun to use a computer to generate images for his work, which led to his output becoming totally digital in 2003.

Since 2012, Killeen has been developing an Image Database that has its own categories and criteria from which he has been generating exhibitions.
