With real-life inspiration behind each of his works, Keith Negley creates a series of eloquent illustrations for life that depict reality through imagery.
Each illustration has a short explanation that the viewer can also infer from viewing the expressive imagery, with a whole range of topics touched upon from family matters to social conditions that many people can relate to. My favorite series portrays Negley and his son as superheroes wrestling before bedtime for its humorous symbolism. However, the artist also veers into darker territory with images exploring the depressing reality that some people live in.
Ranging from lighthearted to heartbreaking, Negley's illustrations for life show how varied the spectrum of life experiences can be.
