Art Consultation
Keith's works are created with graphite, oil, acrylic and pastel and explore themes of family values, trust, love and friendship. Keith has added subtle earth tones to his usual monochromatic palette, adding: “They are a touch surreal in a dark and beautiful way.”
Speaking on this piece, he says: "This painting is about the journey we all take through life to find out who our true friends are, friends who never judge and are always there for us."

The artist
Keith Maiden
Describing his work as storytelling, Keith uses art to ask questions about our society. Exploring themes of narcissism, greed and civil unrest, his paintings intertwine raw emotion with a hunger to understand the world around us.
