About the Artist
Artist Warren Keating captures the motion of walking figures and conveys the immediacy of fleeting moments in his artwork. He documents his subjects on video through birds-eye views, translating their details with oil paint using an approach he describes as Pixel Impressionism. His inspiration for this series came from a Paris vacation, where he photographed passersby from his hotel balcony in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. “My art captures the imagination by looking fairly photo-realistic at a distance but very expressive, abstract, and gestural up close,†says Warren. He works in a spacious, slightly cluttered studio with plenty of natural light, conveniently located next to his house in Santa Fe. Outside his creative pursuits, Warren enjoys spending time with family, engaging in outdoor activities, and traveling to gather new life experiences and future references for his compositions. His paintings have earned features on CNN, the LA Times, and the Huffington Post.

I hope my work inspires you to rediscover the wonder and joy in the everyday. This contemporary figurative painting was inspired by the view from my hotel balcony of the pedestrians walking below me. Using my signature Pixel Impressionist brush strokes, I created the motion of the walking figure and my passion for the subject.
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.
