Original Art for Original People

Meet Keemo

 
 

IF YOU ARE TIRED OF READING LONG WINDED ARTIST BIOS, YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!

I am going to take a wild stab here and guess that you are an art lover. Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me. (I am too!)

So, as a fellow art lover, I am going to spare us both from the long artist bio that tries to prop me up to sound like more than I am. We are both human beings here and we can see through that.

I make art almost every day. It’s almost always abstract, figure-based, and hopefully uniquely identifiable as a Keemo. That’s the goal at least.

“Our Most Realistic Portraits Are Abstract.”


THE LOWDOWN

Over the last 35 years, my work has been used in many print and web publications. I have participated in many group and solo shows around the world.

My artwork currently resides in collections in the US, Canada, United Kingdom, Austria, Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Brazil, Switzerland, Spain, China, New Zealand, Australia, Argentina, Denmark, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Romania, Greece, Guatemala, Norway, Portugal, Luxembourg, Malta, Ecuador, Uruguay, Netherlands, and South Korea.

WHY I DO WHAT I DO

My work as an artist is to explore the human condition, what makes us unique, and how we fit into the rest of the world. With that understanding, our authentic portraits are much different than what we see with our eyes. Our most realistic portraits are abstract. Our portraits are not what we look like on the outside because that doesn’t really matter, does it? It is a deeper dive into who we are. We are abstract. Each one of us.

VISIT THE STUDIO

The artwork is really much better to see in person. These screens just don’t do art justice.

Stop by and hang out for a bit. Check out new art and work in progress. I am located in Grand Rapids, MI. If you find yourself in my neck of the woods, just contact me and we can set up a time. I look forward to seeing you.
