Kevin Bourgeois

I have been creating sociopolitical works on paper using primarily graphite for the last decade. I utilize a combination of photorealism, illustration, and Pop symbolism that results in a fragmentation of surface and reality. My work is versed from past cultural movements and current themes of ideology, mass media, and identity. Using a visual narrative of contemporary societal complexities it relies on juxtapositions such as technology/human nature, individuality/consumer culture, and superficiality/altruism. Both multilayered in implementation and interpretation, I intend my art to deliver a message while retaining a sense of ambiguity for the viewer.
