Kevin Megison
I obtained my BA degree in Applied Art/Advertising Design from the University of Southwestern Louisiana. It was during the formative years at university that I first recognized a connection with and attraction to art in the abstract.
My professional artistic journey began as a production artist, designer and illustrator. After four decades of meeting deadlines, working within the constraints of agency and corporate style guidelines, I am finally free to explore and discover my personal artistic style.
I am influenced by the works of the early masters of modern art: Franz Kline, Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, Mark Rothko and the list goes on.
I find inspiration in nature, music and from the marvelous works of contemporary artists that I encounter directly, or through social media.
I consider my painterly approach to fall within the abstract expressionist style.
The viewer should not try to recognize people, places or things.
Essentially to just let go of familiar objective labeling, perceptions and expectations. Ideally, the viewer will experience a new perspective or a new appreciation for the endless possibilities in discovery.
My goal is to share this vision and my journey.
