Warren Keating

Parisian on the Phone, Oil Painting

2023

Artist Comments
Artist Warren Keating draws inspiration from the pedestrian view below his hotel balcony in St. Germain. This piece encapsulates the moment and character of a late winter afternoon. With his signature motion-filled brushstrokes, he captures the movement and texture of the scene. "Using my unusual perspective, I hope the viewer is inspired to rediscover the beauty and poetry in the every day."

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.
