About Keith Oelschlager's Art

Cities and buildings have as much personality as people do, sometimes even more. It’s impossible to be in Paris without “feeling” like you’re in Paris. Some cities are so rich in history, personality, and culture that they practically beg to be painted. I am always on the search for cities like this, cities where the joyfulness of being alive is evident in every neon sign and streetlamp!

My work finds its place in the traditions of the Photorealists although I do not strive for a Photorealist level of finish.  These are artists who unashamedly use the camera and other mechanical aids as a way to accurately and faithfully depict their subject matter.  Although I do use a variety of digital and mechanical tools in my work, at the end of the day I still must spend hours painting, brush in hand, faithfully observing and preserving these pieces of my life.
