Born in 1979 in Elko, Nevada, Kevin Peterson has made Texas his home since 1996. He has degrees in Fine Art and Psychology from Austin College. Using a painterly and precise technique, Peterson’s paintings speak the same language as early to mid 20th century work that glorified the American experience, yet with a 21st century edge. The palette is lush and used to underscore the sometimes dark subject matter. “My work deals with isolation, loneliness and longing teamed with a level of optimistic hope,” says Peterson. He continues, “This work deals with the idea of rigid boundaries, the hopeful breakdown of such restrictions, as well as questions about the forces that orchestrate our behaviour.”
