About the Item

Signed lower right, "Keith Halonen" (American, b. 1946), dated 1969, and titled lower left, "Life Among the Clouds". Richly patterned, ink figurative showing a man lounging on the floor of a smoke clouded interior and smoking a hookah while his mind expands and a woman stirs a pot on the stove. Keith Halonen began his formal art education at Saturday morning workshops at the Milwaukee Art Museum. During the late 1960s, he created highly-detailed, ink drawings for posters, and book and magazines, including Rolling Stone, as well as illustrations for school textbooks. He exhibited with success including at two one-man shows in San Francisco before moving into commercial graphic art. In the 1980's, he rediscovered his love of fine art and returned to painting in oil. He continues to create in his studio in Marin, California.
