James Keeton

Depictions of fishermen, still-life objects, and human heads serve as a springboard for abstracted images. Color is emphasized, with paintings created in different dominant hues. Horizontal and vertical lines combined with delineated planes reflect an interest in early twentieth century modernism. Due to the rhythmic organization, use of color, and humorous tone, these images have taken a direction entirely their own. Each image is distinctive from the others, but they also strongly relate as a group. The relationship between the narrative and the design unify the expression.
