Kevan O’Connor

b. 1988

Kevan Joseph O’Connor cranes his neck toward beauty and empathy – an artist interested in the healing spectrum of creation. He paints “Visual Poems” from his home studio in Nashville, Tennessee.

Statement:

I use brooms and the handles of broken wooden tools, I finger paint with mediums until textures and contrasts form a deep harmony, I use ruined paint brushes to create marks I couldn't intentionally make, until a structure of understanding and deep compassion arises on the canvas, and then I stop.
