Vincent Keele

Artist Statement

My paintings are portals that create a metaphysical realm where every thought and action is balanced by it’s counterpart. Within this infinite expanse I've created a harmonious space where cognitive thought, directed energy and the immeasurable meet analytical thinking.

Each artwork is brought to life through bold delightful flowing lines with luminous color. Becoming one with the fractal allows me to transcend the 2D space where I can expand, retract and exist. Once connected with thought and energy I begin to harness the feeling. My actions of applying acrylic paint create energy around me as I shift and circle the canvas rhythmically.
Bringing to visual life the internal fight and harmony of Yin and Yang.

I am interested in awakening cognitive thought, harnessing creative energy and to research the limits of universal thinking.


Biography

Vincent Keele (b. 1970-)


As a curator, Vincent Keele organizes exhibitions such as Predators and Women, The Black Panther Art and Fashion Show, An Evening with Kathleen Cleaver and Abstracted View. His own work has evolved to expressionism, primarily in acrylic on canvas.

Keele was born in Los Angeles, California. His passion for art began very early. His mother, Mary M. Scott, an alumni of the Art Institute of Chicago passed on to him her complete course of books. With these materials, he learned to see and produce art in a wide variety of methods.

Keele benefitted from great mentors along the way. He is a self taught artist with traditional education from Platt College where he studied Graphic Arts and Drafting.
Before his love of oil paint, the complexity of pen and ink held a special place in his heart.
