Project Description

In 2009, Keith’s first year of professional art, he was awarded a coveted government public commission to create a large scale artwork in oils for Belfast City Hall to interpret the history of the city. This artwork is now on permanent public display in the City Hall. Other artworks included a commission to paint Péle which was presented to him in 2010.

However driven to always try and push the boundaries of art, in 2011 Keith began experimenting with new styles of art and this led to the highly coloured ‘When I Dream’ series. These pieces are produced by the painstaking method of 3D sculpting of models on a computer starting with only a primitive piece of virtual clay and by pushing and pulling the clay into a recognisable shape. The models are then coloured and finally arranged into one artwork scene. Whether it be a car, a person, a building, an animal or even land and sea, each is modeled using the same time consuming technique of modeling. By 2013 these new artworks had been noticed to the extent that Keith’s work was being published in London, used by Games companies and other large UK businesses. His colourful ‘When I Dream’ series of artworks have been commissioned by private individuals and large UK wide institutions and have appeared in galleries, private homes, corporate spaces, trade shows and on the sides of buses! His latest commissions are destined for places as far off as Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Paris.

Keith believes that each print should have an immediate impact by an intoxicating use of light, colour and detail and each finished piece is a complex arrangement of various locations and iconic buildings all brought together harmoniously onto one canvas. For this reason it is particularly useful for industry seeking to communicate a message in a visually orientated world and for private individuals seeking to record their life story or that of their family and friends. Commissions can be moderate changes to existing images or completely new creations and so there is something to suit every price range.

Giclée reproduction prints and one off originals are produced in house at Keith’s Studio employing the latest digital printing equipment, lightfast inks and, of course, high quality Innova papers which allow for full colour saturation.
