    GEORGE KEYT : Seated Nude, 1982

    Est: RM12,000 - RM22,000

    George Keyt didn’t start painting until he was 26, but he quickly went on to become an international giant of Modern art and arguably Sri Lanka’s most celebrated 20th Century artist. His unique visual idiom combines European Modernist innovations with the ancient South Asian fresco techniques found at Ajanta and Sigiriya. Desipite his clear admiration for cubist and fauvist principles, his subject matter was almost always rooted in local tradition, depicting dancers, shepherdesses and gods, often drawn from Hindu and Buddhist mythology.

    GEORGE KEYT : Girl with Flowers, 1982

    Est: RM12,000 - RM22,000

    George Keyt was a Sri Lankan artist, born in Kandy, to a Sinhalese – Dutch family on April 17, 1902. He was also a poet, known for his vibrant-coloured, Cubist-like figure paintings. Keyt’s artworks are a beautiful matrimony of the Sri Lankan life, calligraphic lines of Henri Matisse, and forms he found in ancient Buddhist and Hindu sculptures, producing a wholly unique style. The artist and his works have been acknowledged as Sri Lanka’s most renowned and celebrated modern painter who developed an interest in art, literature and music while schooling at Trinity College. Keyt was strongly influenced by cubist experiments in perspective, and applied them in a way that was distinctly his own, drawing specifically from Indian artistic traditions. His subjects enlarged, embodied almond-shaped eyes, paired with bold, crisp, heavy lines and expressive grandeur became the defining formal features of his work. This is seen in ‘Seated Nude with Flowers, 1982’.
