| 关于此艺术家 |
My artistic direction has had several influences since I began as an illustrator in 1977. When an artist starts out as a commercial illustrator in a small market such as Indy, you soon learn that survival means the ability to work in a variety of styles.
This has had an indelible impact on my skill as an illustrator and my fine art vision. Whereas most artists struggle to break free of whatever self-imposed style ruts they have fallen into, I struggled to narrow my focus to a few styles instead of the constantly changing myriad that seemingly comes natural.
In the early years I tried to work against this “problem” and was quite disheartened by it. But after some time, I learned that, much like a good actor can be many characters, I can speak many languages through my art and began to embrace this multi-faceted approach.
Since that time, I have learned to go back to specific styles and enjoy watching each particular style progress. I now have a growing catalog of works in each which I can utilize to create a larger and more diverse body of work. |

BIOGRAPHY:
BIOGRAPHY
Keith J. Hampton has over three decades of agency and studio experience in illustration and design and nearly the same in fine art. Largely self-taught, he began his career in 1977 at the age of 18, illustrating for the Saturday Evening Post company and later as a cover artist for ICP Publishing, creating over 20 covers a year.
Keith moved into graphic design in 1982, working at studios and advertising agencies as art director working on design projects and later as creative director on video, TV, radio and print projects that utilized his concepting. writing and design talents.
He started it'sALLart in 1995 and currently works with midwest area businesses and organizations utilizing graphic design, writing, scripting, illustration and website design.
He has had a hand in fine art since his career began and in 1996 he focused more intently on it with work in oil and acrylic painting and block printing. His shows have garnered positive reviews in the local press and sales and his audience have steadily increased.
In June of 2003, he opened it'sALLart gallery in Fountain Square in Indianapolis, showing his and other artists work. After nearly a year of promoting and advertising the gallery, he moved his studio back to his home and concentrated his efforts with other regional galleries in order to focus on working primarily in his studio and plein air.
He now spends time creating new works and concentrating on direct sales to interior design professionals, galleries, retailers and individuals. His work is in several private and corporate collections and can be purchased through this site and at several shows a year at various locations throughout the Indianapolis area and in regional art galleries.
