Kevin Sloan’s paintings are utterly captivating, enticing the viewer into a world of symbolism, mythology and the poetic. It is a world that draws upon dramatic and very distinctive imagery to create the unique “magic realism”. Each piece is rich in color and filled with wonder and mystery surrounding the exquisite garden we call earth. In many ways, Sloan’s ‘allegorical storytelling’ technique combine with some very diverse imagery, offering a release, a “breath of fresh” from our modern technological environment into a ceaseless passage of the seasons.
Kevin’s numerous awards include the State of Florida Individual Artist Fellowship in 1997, the Gold Award from California Magazine, First Place in the Greensboro Artists League in 1986 and the Grumbacher Award for Painting in 1986.
His original, Giclee and Commission Artworks you can find hanging in many public and museum collections including Chase Manhattan Bank, General Electric, Hallmark Corporation, Hilton Hotels, Pheonix Art Museum, Tampa Museum of Art, Tucson Museum of Art, State University of NY Art Museum, and the University of Utah Museum of Art, and many more.

I, at first thought the pictures are some graphics. Am amazed to know that they are paintings. Awesome work.

I love the mixture of erotic and absurdity…could fall into them and stare for hours.
