    TERRENCE KELLER is an abstract painter from Edmonton, Canada whose work has developed steadily for some 30 years. Today he is one of the finest — albeit least recognized — painters of his generation.
    His manner is unique and immediately recognizable. His paintings have an untidy air, which may account for thier initial difficulty. They belong to the tradition of all over painting, with roots in the analytical cubism of Picasso and Braque, and more recently with Jackson Pollock, Jules Olitski, and the Larry Poons of the '70s and '80s. They offer a kind of disheveled cubism, as though the elements of painting — brush strokes, scrapes, and spatters — had somehow collapsed into place, but their structure remains firmly in place, like a natural stone wall.
