KEVIN COSLEY
Kevin Cosley’s approach to painting is rooted in an exploration of the invisible structures and patterns that subtly shape the world around him. He seeks to create a space where these unseen forces can evolve naturally into visible, conscious forms on the canvas. As he begins making marks, Cosley is drawn into an engaging process of curiosity and discovery, reacting to emerging shapes and colors that seem to extend beyond the surface. This process often leads to an uncharted place, where something ineffable is revealed view of environments or structures previously concealed from perception.
For Cosley, these invisible currents simply await translation, manifesting in forms that feel specific and grounded, yet elude direct identification. His paintings thus capture a sense of familiarity within the unnamable, bridging the abstract with the tangible.
