Robert O. Keith IV was born in Denver Colorado in 1981. He received a BFA at Colorado State University in 2012 and an MFA at the University of South Carolina in 2016. Robert currently teaches various art courses for the University of South Carolina as an adjunct and dual enrollment professor.
Art was an escape for Robert 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, Robert explores the reclamation of abandoned architectural spaces by nature. He documents the journey of exploration via oil paintings.
