The Painting, a neo-expressionist elucidation of Michael Jackson, was created in 1985 by renowned artist Peter Keil. Known for his bold use of wild colors and shapes, Keil is especially recognized for his paintings of pop-culture icons and celebrities.
Being a musician and songwriter himself, Myland has always respected Jackson for his talent as well as his dedication to philanthropy. So this seemed like a painting way to pay tribute to his unique talent and legacy.
