Artist Bio
Kevin Broad is a Philadelphia-based artist known for his masterful use of color and light across diverse mediums. His early artistic development was sparked by his small-town surroundings and a supportive teacher, which led him to pursue formal training at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Broad's career features numerous solo and group exhibitions, with the recent highlight of "Brilliance in the Mundane" at Park Towne Place, and "Duo Light: A Fusion of Perspectives" at Stirner Modern. Motivated by his desire to break from dogmatism and restrictive environments from his life experiences, Broad creates his own pigments and experiments with techniques such as fresco, demonstrating a profound engagement with both natural and urban landscapes. His work continues to capture the subtle and dynamic beauty of the world through a uniquely personal and expressive lens.

"The study of nature has instilled an organic quality to my work. As an artist I am determined to capture the sensations of color and light that I see in the world around me with honesty and directness. With abstraction, I try to remove dependence on observing life. I fight repression and attempt what I have no solution for. Things I am feeling are painted using the properties of the pigment-to resonate and glow on the surface. The work becomes pure expression."
