“Mythos”

My imagery is a concoction of influence from the natural concealed world, instinct and the cavernous depths of imagination and subconscious. The process is a provoking push and pull journey within medium and self with sporadic introductions of chaos to ensure an unpredictable voyage towards the concluding outcome. When working, I investigate the interior terrain, favoring an existence within a silent emblematic space. I deposit symbols, characters and texture -following an intuitive voice leading to unanticipated and surprising consequences.

Technique:

The picture first begins as a sequence of visual ramblings in sketchbook. Intermittently, unsystematic rudiments and marks of disorder are introduced; on occasion regions destroyed or erased acting as a reaction trigger. It’s a procedure of embracing an atmosphere of unpredictability.

When the illustration has attained a condition of termination, it is then transmitted to canvass, panel or printed in an intaglio technique.

Notes from the Curator
Kevin’s work inspires a solemn mood of desperate beauty. It seems like a mix of Leonardo Da Vinci’s Codex blended with pages of Geiger’s sketchbook. Personally, I am fascinated by it and can’t take my eyes from its forbidden fruit.
