Keerate’s home in Kopong is a typical example of what the man does for various clients. Outside, there are different palette chairs decorated with Glascon paints. He recycles wooden pallets to make indoor or outdoor chairs and benches. Being a man who works well with paint, Keerate has discovered creative and beautiful ways of making his furniture unique. For those who love their quite mornings with coffee or hot afternoons with ice cold drinks, the palette chairs are just the perfect way to pimp one’s style.
As soon as one gets into Keerate’s house, the walls welcome one into the painter’s space. Every visual artist has their own equivalent of a painter’s canvas, but with Keerate, the walls in his house are where he does it all. From ragging, rag rolling, plastic bagging, distressing, dragging, colour washing, rubbing, mubbling and stenciling, the talented artist has experimented with them all. In his bathroom Keerate has applied a ceiling mural to create an outdoor feeling while indoors. A mural is any piece of artwork painted or applied directly on a wall, ceiling or other large permanent surface. Keerate does not stop at that, he also applies his painting effects to furniture like wardrobes and kitchen units. Additionally, the former art teacher also puts wallpapers on the wall.
