More About the Artist...

Christopher Keene, Bronze Sculpture titled Estra.

BFA, MFA

"Chris Keene has a background in traditional sculpture and can successfully transfer those skills to digital technology for the computer graphics industry. To find someone with true artistic talent and traditional art education is quite rare; everyone wants to do things digitally without knowing and understanding basic art. Chris has the natural 'artistic' eye when it comes to texture, color, and lighting and is quite an asset to the film industry." ...Hoyt H. Yeatman, Director/Academy Award Senior Visual Effects Supervisor.

Christopher Keene, visual storyteller

Chris Keene is a painter, sculptor and computer graphics artist. His cast bronze sculptures are displayed in public places from Los Angeles, California, to Ottawa, Canada, with smaller works residing in private collections across North America. Gallery exhibits in major metropolitan areas include New York City, Toronto Canada, Los Angeles California, and the prestigious Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C.

The following pages are samples of an extensive career that is continually evolving. However, there is a common thread within Keene's paintings and sculptures: his ability to reveal a visual story or message. Initial concepts for each painting or sculpture incorporate the artist's traditional training, technical skills, and digital knowledge from his time with the Walt Disney Studios (Feature Films and Animation).
