Peter Robert Keil
Abstrakte Frau mit roten Lippen
This energetic, abstracted composition by Peter Keil bursts with expressive line and color. Dominated by a bold, black, sweeping contour that evokes a stylized face or mask, the painting is layered with vibrant accents of red, green, yellow, purple, and turquoise. The forms suggest both playful biomorphic shapes and gestural marks, with a spontaneous, almost graffiti-like energy. The background is loosely covered with patches of sky blue and raw canvas, enhancing the raw, unfinished aesthetic. Keil’s signature in the lower right corner completes this powerful and immediate visual statement.
Context
Peter Keil, a German painter associated with the "Junge Wilde" (Young Wild Ones) movement, is known for his exuberant, gestural works blending figuration with abstraction. Active from the 1960s onward, Keil’s style remained consistent in celebrating spontaneity, emotional intensity, and vibrant color. His work often draws from street culture, folk art, and the raw energy of postwar Berlin’s art scene. This untitled piece exemplifies those qualities—rejecting polished aesthetics in favor of an unfiltered, almost primal visual language. Keil’s art invites viewers to experience color, form, and gesture as pure, vital expression.
