The style of the drawings can be described as minimalistic realism. The focus of Kehls work lies on the specific setting of lines and accents that clearly define and retain the model. His figures seem to float timelessly on the paper. There is no indication of time and place where the models are located. They persist in a movement and a thought, and they are expected to detach themselves from the paper at any moment to continue their actions.Kehl does not call the work itself academic or classical, but feels deeply rooted in the enormous tradition of this medium.
He lives and works in Munich , Germany .
