Warren Keating was born in New Orleans in 1965. A child prodigy, Keating won several regional awards in oil and watercolor painting and received more than a half-dozen commissions before reaching the age of 18. His work reflects the culmination of over 20 years of painting both the figure and the landscape. Before graduating from Otis Parsons, he was chosen to display his work at the Mississippi Artists Annual Juried Exhibition. Los Angeles' Desmond Gallery hosted his first solo show in 1995.

Keating's latest works, Private Eye's View, are the result of collecting photographs and video of unwitting subjects from balconies in France, digitizing them on computer and painting them on canvas in a style that is one part impression and one part digitization. This series brings together many elements that artists have explored throughout the 20th Century: abstract naturalism, expressive realism, narrative painting, photography and video.
