Description
Peter Keil, Masterwork Mixed Media Textured Quadriptych (4) Portraits, c. 1980
Oil on Canvas Signed "P. Keil" Lower Left
Dimensions: 40" W x 60" H
Unframed Ready to Place or Frame
This striking large-scale quadriptych by renowned German artist Peter Keil features four distinct, expressive portraits enclosed within a bold black-lined grid. Executed in oil on canvas, the piece showcases Keil's signature raw energy, intense color contrasts, and dynamic brushwork. The upper and lower left quadrants display raised impasto texture, adding depth and tactile richness to the composition.
Keil's artistic style echoes influences from Francis Bacon and Karel Appel, with distorted yet emotive facial forms, vibrant hues, and a sense of movement that captivates the viewer. The interplay of abstract expressionism and neo-expressionist portraiture makes this a visually arresting and historically significant work.
A museum-quality statement piece, this unframed masterwork is ready for immediate placement or professional framing to suit your space. A must-have for collectors of mid-to-late 20th-century European expressionist art.
