Original Skateboard. Price: Price not available. Description: Three expressive faces share the yellow deck of Original Skateboard, turning a familiar object of movement into a compact portrait gallery. Peter Robert Keil stacks the heads along the board’s length, using strong black lines to define wide eyes, curved noses, and open red mouths. A pale face occupies the upper section, a red face commands the center, and a turquoise face completes the sequence below. Their differing colors and expressions create a conversation across the surface, held together by the warm yellow ground. The rounded ends of the deck echo the contours of the heads, making the board’s shape an active part of the composition. Wheels and metal hardware remain visible in the alternate view, preserving its recognizable character. Keil’s loose, direct handling lends the figures a sense of spontaneity, as though each expression has just arrived. The work brings the immediacy of street culture into contact with expressive painting, giving everyday design a vivid human presence..
