Kevin Collins

Kevin Collins' work both acknowledges a classical tradition while dwelling in a dream-world of fantasy and wonderment. His work references classical Western art, culture and mythology, while channelling his own multilingual global upbringing. Collins diverse oeuvre of artworks ranges from oil on board and canvas to his recent series of unique ceramic fables, myths and memes. Collins’s subject matter is collected from years of travelling (many miles from the age of three) and making small sketches and picking up little bits of visual imagery from packaging, transport tickets and sweet wrappers from Burma to Bangalore. Some imagery emerges from his childhood and early love of illustrated story books.
