20" X 16" oil on canvas, "Bagagiste (Bellman), Hotel Lutetia, Paris"
by Warren Keating, is a dynamic, above-view, figurative painting from
my award-winning series, Overview, that was featured on CNN. It depicts
an overhead view of a bellman walking on Boulevard St. Germain, in
front of the Hotel Lutetia, 6th Arrondissement, Paris. I got the
reference for this painting from the balcony of my room at the Lutetia.
The style of this painting reflects a type of mark making that I have
invented, a kind of "pixelated impressionism" where the expressive
swashes of paint depict the pixels from the original digital video
reference image. It is on 1 1/2" thick, museum wrap, stretched canvas
with the sides painted white, no need for framing, saving hundreds of
dollars. Go to WarrenKeating.com for more info.
