About the Item
Artist Comments
Inspired by the aerial view of pedestrians from a hotel balcony in Paris, this impressionistic painting depicts a stylishly attired woman strolling with her cane. Visible brushstrokes evoke form and light rather than realism, with dominant shades of pink, blue, and beige. The loosely painted depiction of the figure and the atmospheric palette capture a fleeting moment in time.
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.

This painting was inspired by the view from my hotel balcony in Paris of the pedestrian below me, trying to button his coat as he walked against the wind. I created the movement of the walking figure in expressive brushstrokes that emulate pixelation and motion. I use the unique aerial perspective to turn the human figure into a more abstract shape and to emphasize the movement of the figure.
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.
