Shadow of a Man in Paris with Paper and Briefcase

2017

Artist Comments
This contemporary figurative painting was inspired by my aerial view of the pedestrians below from my hotel balcony in Paris. My signature Pixel Impressionist brushstrokes render the motion of the figure. The expressive, textured surface of this contemporary art is protected from UV, dust and smoke by a satin varnish. This painting is on gallery wrapped canvas with finished edges. It comes wired on the back and ready to hang on the wall.

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.
