| New Masters Gallery is thrilled to have the work of internationally known and accomplished Carmel artist Keith Lindberg . A professional artist since 1960, Carmel painter, Keith Lindberg, is a masterful, expressive colorist. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, he studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and the Chicago Art Institute, where the non-traditional teaching methods appealed to his vivid imagination. His artist’s eye finds expression in a wide variety of subjects – the human form, still lifes, landscapes and animals.
It is hard to classify Lindberg’s style. He has trouble describing it. He came out of art school painting abstract because it was the 1950’s and that’s what was happening, but when he came to Carmel in the 60’s he started painting what appealed to him. It took years to hone his craft, but eventually he developed his own distinct style- -a colorful contemporary combination of abstract and impressionism. His paintings are full of broad strokes and bold, bright colors. He’s been called “swashbuckler with paint”. Lindberg explains, “I’m always working on total format, the balance of color ad value: the proportion of it, the clarity of how it comes together, how one color meets another and where the value change takes place. I never really solve it, but I try.” Lindberg’s paintings explode with color and energy.
