OIL PORTRAIT PAINTING BY PETER ROBERT KEIL 1985
An oil painting on cardboard by Peter Robert Keil, 1985. The expressionist painting depicts a vibrant portrait in white, black, and red. Signed by the artist, titled Berlin, and dated 1985 lower left. Framed. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Peter Robert Keil, born 1942, German painter and sculptor. Keil developed a new, spontaneous, and dynamic painting style. Since the 80s, the use of intensive to lurid colors and the absence of realistic representation have become characteristic of his painting style. In his paintings, the color is applied with quick brushstrokes and occasionally with impasto techniques, and the images are additionally abstracted by the use of Graffiti elements. Keil prefers to paint human figures, portraits, big city scenes, landscapes, and still life images of flowers. His emotional way of painting is mainly driven by a desire for freedom from social constraints and conventions. In the past 50 years, he has created numerous large- and small scale paintings in oil and mixed media on canvas but also some sculptures in wood and steel and a great number of majolicas. Collectible Expressionist and Abstract Art, Portraiture. One Of a Kind Artwork.
Dimensions: Frame 24 x 20 in. Image 20 x 16 in. All measurements are approximate.
