Brian Keeper

Typically working on location (plein air) in acrylic on canvas, Brian Keeper is a Texan artist whose art show,Urbanscapes and Abstracts, opens atAustern Cohen Gallery. Keeper’s art survived the Texas Hill Country flood of 2025 after his home and art were submerged for more than three days under the raging Guadalupe River. An accomplished artist for more than five decades, this is the first exhibit of Keeper’s art on the West Coast. Look at cities and landscapes through his eyes, feel the weather in these paintings. Created for personal fulfillment, this large body of work (a collection of 500 pieces) remained largely unseen, until now. An opening reception is 5-7pm Saturday, Sept. 19 at 643 Lincoln St., Carmel. The gallery is open noon-4pm Wednesday-Saturday.
