“The Art of Perception”
Kevin Oxley is constantly exploring subjects, ideas and ways of seeing through his art.
Oxley continues to have a distinguished professional career of awards and achievements. His ability is breathtaking, covering almost every medium according to his chosen subject.
His commitment to his art is evident in this new exhibition, as he demonstrates working from the true fundamentals of drawing skills and tailored materials to create extraordinarily captivating results.
These works show how the artist converts the image into art, often with just a few ‘simple’ strokes of his mink-tail brushes (the mink salvaged from an abandoned fur coat) dipped in inks he has also ground and prepared himself.
The reduction of a subject to its essence with a few marks, enables the viewer to share the vision of the artist.
These moments on the paper are expertly completed stories.
“The Art of Perception” was Kevin's latest exhibition with an official opening on Saturday July 9th by respected journalist and publisher Michael Berry.
The exhibition ran from July 9th to 24th, 2011.
New work from "The Art of Perception by Kevin Oxley is shown below.
