CHARLES KEILLOR is from Vancouver Canada. The early passion he acquired for drawing was inspired by his parents Russell and Marial Keillor, both gifted visual artists.

Figurative and representational subjects are the focus of Charles’s art. Beyond precise draftsmanship and strong composition, capturing character and conveying mood are foremost among Mr. Keillor’s creative concerns. The quality of stillness found in much of his work, and the dedication to a monochromatic graphite medium, can be attributed in part to Charles’s affection for classic Japanese cinema.

CHARLES KEILLOR’s resume includes numerous client commissions, along with participation in solo, national, and international group exhibitions. To access the artist’s ULTRA MARINE and URBAN-SUBURBAN NOIR collections, please click visit MYARTCHANNEL.
