Says Kevin of Shadow Overgrown: “Darkness creates a feeling of mystery and the unknown. Light reveals that which what was mysterious, is nothing more than shadow.”

Ever enthralled by the natural world, Kevin uses earthy colour combinations, rich textures and the rhythms of life and death found in nature to create works that conjure up traditional landscape paintings yet veer into abstraction. Working with acrylic paint primarily on canvas, cotton and paper, his paintings are a synthetic beauty, an icon of the natural world. Perkins’ work intends to evoke a dialogue with the natural landscape with an attentiveness to the present moment without being tied to the particularity of place.
