Kevin was born in Salisbury in 1967 and studied Art and Design at Salisbury College of Art. Following his graduation he worked for various graphic design companies, learning much about the design industry. Since then he has found himself more drawn to an artistic career and now paints as much as he can. His heart lies in the contemporary landscape and he produces images based on his home county of Wiltshire and the Georgian houses in Bath. Using acrylics on board, he incorporates texture, along with scraping and sanding back to achieve his effects. He cites Bacon and Klimpt as early influences on his distinct and dramatic style, which is both simple and bold. He says that by ‘enjoying the world around me with its intricate textures and forms I hope my paintings capture this in a contemporary way’. His paintings have a timelessness, yet are fresh and exciting at the same time.
