Keven Lock
I’m a storyteller at heart. While I strive to reach past conventional perception, my art is never purely abstract. Employing simple marks, shapes and symbols, I seek to reflect the nature of my experience, apparent and transcendent. My circular process is inspired by the concepts of quantum reality, theories of spiritual origins, and the internal landscape I explore while practicing art as my yoga. As I paint, scratch, collage, and draw on my surfaces, I continually propose and obliterate visual ideas, inviting narratives to be suggested and revealed. Each surface I create is a postcard sent back from a exciting journey I’ve undertaken. I invite you to read the work and engage in your own experience of it.
