Kevin Sloan
The Prophet

2021

About the Item

Sloan’s work is an inquiry into the relationship between the natural world and the human-created world of objects and built environments. From there, he explores how a painting can hold a sense of wonder and the sacred while depicting and pointing toward that which is commonly considered mundane or overlooked. Rooted in the tradition of representational painting, the work explores narrative possibilities through metaphor and symbolism. Often characterized by bemusement and tenderness, the work is acutely aware of the social, political and environmental landscape yet avoids topical reportage and editorializing. Rather, assuming the role of a “compassionate witness”, and utilizing paired themes of fragility/strength, sorrow/wonder, and loss/resiliency, the work becomes a devotional testament giving shape to the emotional tenor of this moment.
