Keil's energetic artworks are primarily oil-based paint on canvas, board, cardboard, ceramic and any other medium that will transport his vibrant primary colors and keen social commentary. On a less political side, Keil often painted typical Berlin street and bar scenes, women in various poses, fellow artists, and his beloved Lake Wannsee near the Berlin of his youth with its sailing boats, children swimming, and sun-seeking bathers. Sometimes in rich unnatural colors, his paintings along with his figure studies help establish Keil as a versatile master craftsman of neo-expressionism.

Some lifting to collage elements; light surface grime.
