Medium:
Mixed Media 2D New to Artclectic
“My work is mixed media - collage, acrylic and oil,” says Keith Grace. “Hundreds of hand-torn pieces of maps, typography and other hand-made visual elements are collaged seamlessly onto canvas. I add layers of acrylic and oil over the images to complete the painting.
“I use typography quite often in my paintings because I was both a graphic designer and newspaper editor in previous careers. I also incorporate maps because of my love of travel and it is also a way to honor the printed maps and road atlases because they are becoming rare due to technology.”
As a working artist for more than 40 years, Keith is inspired by people, travel, books, nature, and music. His work is engaging, thoughtful, and surprising.
Get to know Keith better:
What is your idea of perfect happiness?
For me, perfect happiness can come from anyone, anything or anywhere. Moments of bliss can be as simple as the perfect bite of food, a hearty laugh with friends or an unexpected hug. I find happiness in family, travel, playing tennis, hiking, reading, eating, sharing and learning new things, and meeting new people. And, of course, when I am creating.
What is your greatest extravagance?
At this point in our lives my wife and I splurge on art, travel, food and drink. (Although she would say my obsession with shoes should be listed here, too!)
Which word or phrase do you most overuse?
"Bless Your Heart" since moving to the South five years ago and learning the more cynical interpretation behind the phrase.
