Keith McQueen is a Portland-based artist whose work drifts between the tactile and the imagined, often assembling fragments of everyday material into quietly charged visual narratives. Rooted in the Pacific Northwest’s moodier palette, his practice leans into texture, patina, and the poetry of found forms, creating pieces that feel both unearthed and newly conjured. McQueen is also Head of Model Shop at Laika Studios, where his sensitivity to material and form aligns with a broader culture of craftsmanship and visual storytelling. His compositions balance restraint with curiosity, inviting viewers to linger in the space between object and story while building a body of work that feels intimate, deliberate, and unmistakably his own.
