About Kevin
For over two decades, Kevin VanEmburgh has been exploring the intersection of spontaneity and intention through his high-energy abstract paintings and evocative photography. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, particularly the ever-changing moods of the sea and the rich palette of colors that surround us, Kevin creates large-scale art that celebrates both the power and unpredictability of the creative process.
Working primarily on expansive canvases, Kevin embraces an intuitive approach that allows each piece to discover its own voice. This philosophy of creative surrender results in dynamic compositions where bold gestures and organic color relationships emerge naturally, reflecting a profound connection to nature's rhythms and hues. Each painting becomes a journey of discovery, as much for him as for the viewer.
Complementing his abstract work, Kevin captures life's authentic moments through lifestyle and travel photography, bringing the same eye for natural beauty and spontaneous composition to his lens as he does with the palette knives he paints with. This dual practice enriches his artistic vision, informing both mediums with a deep appreciation for light, movement, and the stories that unfold in everyday experiences.
Kevin maintains an active studio practice, creating new work daily. He welcomes commission inquiries for collectors seeking original pieces tailored to their vision, while also offering a curated selection of available works for those drawn to his existing body of art. Each piece represents not just a finished work, but a moment of creative freedom captured in paint and color.
