Kevin Chadwick

 

Life's Tapestry

 

 

Ella W. Richardson Fine Art presents “Life’s Tapestry"  a new solo exhibit showcasing the work of Virginia based artist Kevin Chadwick. The artist will be in attendance for the opening reception on April 4th from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. This will coincide with The Charleston Gallery Association’s First Friday Art Walk.

 

Kevin Chadwick returns to Charleston with an opportunity for his patrons to immerse themselves in his vibrant mixed media paintings. Kevin paints soulful figures in a southern landscape that tell a story. His technique of creating a tapestry within a painting tells of intimate history that highlights tenderness and joy throughout. He recounts tales of rhythm and energy that define southern life are not to be missed. His scenes are abstract and heavily-layered with patterned backgrounds pieced together with rubbed paint and detailed brushstrokes gifting a soulful moment. Each character engages the viewer and they often meet at a junction of life’s shared experiences.

 

Kevin pursued his artistic career as an illustrator while attending the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. He would go on to work for a national glassware company illustrating for corporations such as McDonalds, Burger King, Hallmark Cards and Twentieth Century Fox. As his career as an illustrator developed, so did his interest and passion for painting. Kevin quickly fell for the medium of oil paint and expressive figures he was able to render on a canvas with it. His talent and skill have been recognized internationally and has been the recipient of several awards for his work.

 

In his artist’s statement, Kevin eloquently speaks to his unique perspective on how he connects to the world around him and how he wishes to translate that view to those encountering his work. “The faces and personalities of nearby strangers have always presented me with a rich and deeply nuanced subject matter. There is a great, imperceptible void between all people, whether a factor of time, place, or individual circumstance, that challenges us to understand the many peripheral worlds surrounding our own.”
