Artist Comments
This impressionist work by artist Warren Keating presents a compelling interplay of light and form from an uncommon vantage point. The composition offers a top-down view of two figures wearing wide-brimmed hats, their presence suggested through loose, expressive brushstrokes in vivid blues and reds. Deep shadowed blue on the left contrasts with softer pastel tones on the right, creating a dynamic tension across the scene.
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.
