Raindrops in Paris, Oil Painting

2022

Artist Comments
Artist Warren Keating takes after a late winter drizzle in Paris. He displays the light texture of falling rain over a moving figure holding their umbrella upwards. The unique perspective gives the subject an abstract quality against the iconic shape of the blue parasol. Warren’s signature wet-on-wet technique adds a freshness and vibrance to the piece.

About the Artist
Warren Keating's paintings start with documentation. He captures subjects on video from birds-eye views, digitizes the film on his computer and, finally, paints them on canvas in an active style he describes as Pixel Impressionism. He merges artistic elements of the 20th Century with 21st Century technology. Warren credits Futurism as well as Richard Diebenkorn and Willem de Kooning as influences in his paintings. Fun fact: Warren’s inspiration for this series came from a vacation to Paris where he photographed passersby from his hotel balcony in Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
