Peter Keil Original 1985 Expressionist Oil on Masonite "Yellow Submarine"

Item Details

An original 1985 oil on masonite by very well-listed and prolific contemporary German Expressionist, Peter Robert Keil (born 1942), titled Yellow Submarine. The image depicts a gestural rendering of an androgynous portrait of an abstracted orange and yellow face, executed in Keil’s signature vibrant jewel-toned glazes and thick black outlines. The painting is signed and dated by the artist in paint to the lower left. This work is unframed, awaiting presentation of choice.

Mentored initially by artist Otto Nagel in the Expressionist form, and as a metalworker artist at the University of Arts in Berlin, Keil’s style would undergo a series of noticeable transformations due to personal experiences and his developing passion for travel. This metamorphosis was first observed during the 1960s, and within a decade his spontaneous and exuberant signature style was established. Keil chooses flowers, portraits, cityscapes and landscapes as his preferred subjects. Alongside the occasional sculpture in steel and wood, he is also an experienced ceramicist.
