Kevin Callahan

1953 Lenox, Iowa, USA

I was reared on a small farm in Iowa and have been drawing & painting since I was 5.

My philosophy is simple: Composition,Story, Elegant Line.

If you find the elegant line, your work will be lyrical.

Kevin's acrylic paintings carry reminiscent overtones of both Hopper and Benton. His works exhibit a slightly primitive tone reminding the viewer of the relationship between the camera/canvas/painter/subject. Working from digitals Kevin captures his subject(s), often unaware in a moment in space and time. This invasion/observation offers a very personal connection between the viewer, the artist, and the subjects themselves. Kevin's work reveals his subjects in everyday acts yet hints at their mysterious unknowns. Individually each piece offers a view of intriguing subjects, caught in a moment of time. As a body of work they capture the essence of the female in a kaleidoscope of color and movement.
