Description
Peter Robert Keil* (born 1942 in Sulechów) Set of 20 oil paintings oil on hardboard and canvas, approx. 65 × 50 cm to 100 × 70 cm partially signed, monogrammed and dated ESTIMATE €1,000 – €2,000 STARTING PRICE €1,000 Peter Robert Keil is a contemporary German painter and sculptor. He spent his early youth in West Berlin and was primarily influenced by Expressionist artists such as Pablo Picasso. The painter Otto Nagel, who came from East Berlin, became his artistic mentor from around 1954. In 1956, Keil began training as an art metalworker and then attended the Berlin University of the Arts. With the construction of the Berlin Wall, contact with Nagel was severed, and Keil increasingly moved abroad. Whilst studying at the university, Keil came into contact with other artists of his generation, such as Georg Baselitz, Eugen Schönebeck, Markus Lüpertz and Joachim Schmettau. During his time in Mallorca, he also met Joan Miró on several occasions in his studio. In his early days, Keil drew inspiration from German Expressionism, exploring big-city milieus and marginalised figures in society. From the 1960s onwards, during his time in Paris, he developed a more spontaneous and dynamic style of painting, which he continued to refine during his years in London and finally as part of the Berlin Neue Wilde movement in the early 1980s. Since then, the defining features of his painting style have been the use of intense, almost garish colours and a rejection of realistic objectivity. The application of paint is swift and occasionally impasto, and the motifs in his pictures are frequently distorted by graffiti-like elements. In terms of subject matter, Keil favours human figures, portraits, urban scenes, landscapes and floral still lifes. From the early 1960s, Keil worked from studios in Paris, London, Berlin and the USA. Today he lives and works in Bavaria, Berlin and Los Angeles.
