March Rain in Paris, Oil Painting

2023

Artist Comments
Artist Warren Keating exhibits a motion-filled painting of an aerial view of an orange umbrella in the rain. He draws inspiration from witnessing the scene firsthand from his hotel balcony in Paris. Using his signature perspective and textural, directional brushwork, he conveys the immediacy of the moment. Warren hopes this expressive painting helps the viewer to rediscover the beauty and poetry of the everyday.

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.
