Philipp Keel

Who is Philipp Keel?

Philipp Keel is a Swiss artist and writer based in Zurich, Switzerland and Los Angeles, California.

Keel achieved critical and popular acclaim after the best-selling All About Me, a book series with over three million copies in print. Central to his work are caricature, the beauty of details, light, and the complexity of the human mind. Noted for pioneering the Imbue Print technique, Keel received recognition in the art world with a solo show at Art Basel in 2001. Two years later, Steidl Publishing released Color, the most comprehensive collection of his editions.

Keel draws inspiration from Keith Jarrett's The Köln Concert, palm trees, the short stories of Carson McCullers, David Hockney's Paper Pools, rabbits, and Coca-Cola in the classic 237 ml glass bottle.
