KEVIN KEARNS
New Works
April 9 – 21
Reception: April 9,  6-8 PM

Kevin Kearns' landscapes come from a place where 
memory, reality and imagination are combined. They are 
atmospheric, sensual and continue to evolve overtime, 
allowing us, the viewer, to glimpse and to enter into a splice 
of his world. We are allowed and invited to dream, to fly 
over, walk around, live in and to contemplate that world. It is 
seductive and enticing, and comes from very specific 
memories of places, that have fascinated Kearns; whether it 
be from the Hudson Valley where his current studio is 
located or locations such as the New England seacoast, 
Iceland and Europe. 


The resulting landscape images are full of light, space, color, 
softly undulating hills that disappear and reappear, with 
broad expansive skies, and yet, little sense of human 
presence or architecture; combining a strong sense of 
abstract with the organic and essentially allowing nature, to 
be nature. The oil paint is allowed to drip, build up, or be 
scraped back, resulting in the totality of the final image to 
evoke, varied emotive qualities that tap into Kearns' very 
personal response to the subject matter.
