"Keef" – Original Painting on Raw Canvas

by Nikki Johnson

Dimensions: 18" x 24"
Medium: Acrylic on Raw-Edge, Unstretched Canvas

This gritty, stripped-down portrait of Keith Richards captures the Stones guitarist at his most iconic: cigarette in hand, eyes half-lidded, and soaked in defiance. Painted on raw, unstretched canvas, this piece carries the same edge as its subject—loose, unfiltered, and unapologetically rock & roll.

Created by visual artist Nikki Johnson, the canvas is left with its raw edges intact—no frame, no stretching, no polish. Just paint, smoke, and swagger. The perfect medium for a man who’s made a career of breaking the rules and looking damn cool doing it.

"Keef" is a portrait of cool defiance and timeless rebellion. It’s the kind of piece that doesn’t need to shout to make a statement—it just smolders.

Sold unframed and unstretched, ready to mount, stretch, float frame, or hang loose as it was created—raw and real.
