Splash presents a rigorous selection of Philipp Keel's photographs from the last decade. Keel's luminous, color-intense images celebrate the pleasure and strange beauty of random details and objects. While his bold style may appear spontaneous, Keel meticulously experiments with the processes of image creation in the darkroom, condensing forms and tones so that everyday subjects adopt abstract qualities. Keel's most recent photographs depict motifs in or near here objects dissolve in movement, take on a life of their own and entrance us with a shimmering ambiguity.
Philipp Keel is an internationally acclaimed artist and writer. He achieved critical and popular acclaim with his best-selling book series, "All About Me," which currently has over three million copies in print. His early influences include Fellini, Sendak, Steinberg and palm trees (not necessarily in that order).
