Keith Purcell has been dedicated to his creative practice at Grace Eyre for many years. He has a distinctive style that is often very colourful, creating vibrant pieces with his choice of colours. Keith is drawn to mediums such as acrylic, coloured pencil, and felt-tip pens. The artwork he creates often references faces and figures in an abstract style. This style is also influenced by illustration and cartoon. Keith can also be seen looking around the room and being inspired by objects and people he sees. He has worked on large-scale works on canvas, board, and mural in the past.
Keith said this about his art:
“I like doing the cartoon work. I like drawings at of my head I do my style I enjoy doing faces and cartoons in pencils or crayons. I have worked on big paintings before.”
How does art make Keith feel?
“I enjoy it! I’m happy and it’s all fine. I’m not tense like I am at the gym. It makes me happy, and I enjoy it.”
What medium does Keith like best?
“Felt tips and crayons. Lots of colour.”
What is Keith’s art about?
“I make art about cartoons. I get some paper, whatever comes, and I do it.
I look around the room sometimes and I find something to do, maybe in a book.”
