Description
About artist: Kevin, who is based in Wicklow, likes to explore and experiment with different household items for a unique textured finishes. Using some knowledge from his BSc in Food Science he has used random household and food items such as egg shells, dried coffee grounds, red wine and cling film for interesting textures and pigments and has made stain from the reaction between steel wool and vinegar which he uses to stain handmade wooden frames he makes for some of his pieces. Kevin returned to making art after a great loss and a big change in his life and it was on this healing journey that creating art and expressing his feelings and emotions on the canvas really helped his emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Being free to express himself on canvas is very important in his life and it can be seen in his work.
About artwork: Inspired by a beautiful young lady who exudes such pride and confidence when her scar that runs the length of her lower leg from knee to ankle is exposed - but really - is very conscious and self aware if noticed by others. It is a reminder that we all have scars - these scars, whether physical or emotional, shape us into the humans we become, some we wear with pride and are our golden scars, some we never show or talk about.
