Bio

Kevin Broad (b. Nazareth, PA) 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 "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.

Artist Statement

"The watercolors in this selection represent the manner in which I painted to feel light, color and movement in nature. They are from the beginning of my career 40 years ago. The selection of studio still life sketches are more recent experiments from 2021. These precipitate a series of larger oil paintings where I combine objects themes that I contemplate in my studio environment."
