Robert O. Keith IV is a native Coloradan, now happily residing in Columbia, SC. He received a BFA at Colorado State University and an MFA at the University of South Carolina. He and his wife Meagan travel around the east coast searching for abandoned spaces to fill both an artistic need as well as the thrill of exploring.
Art was an escape for Keith as a child. The poor conditions in which he was raised mirror so many of the abandoned structures shown in his work. His rough upbringing gave him an intensely unique perspective on life, allowing him to find the beauty and the positive light in what others might find ugly or impossible to endure.
In his current work, Keith explores the reclamation of abandoned architectural spaces by nature. He documents the journey of exploration via oil paintings.
