Artist Statement

These images begin as photographs: personal snapshots, archival documents, stock imagery, found moments. Through digital transformation they become something else entirely. The source material is real. What emerges from it is something harder to name.

No image here is what it first appears to be. That gap between appearance and reality is where the work lives.

About

Philip Keppel

Philip Keppel is a Los Angeles and Tavira-based contemporary artist working in post-photographic digital art. His images begin in the real world and are reconstructed through deliberate collisions of memory, observation, history, humor, and visual interruption.

The work often places the viewer behind a frame, barrier, device, reflection, or altered viewpoint, leaving the final meaning unresolved.
