 Looking at a Kevin Sonmor painting is like listening to opera with one’s eyes. Sonmor presents his viewers with a broiling sea of emotion, filtered through the lens of art history. As a result, these paintings are at once wholly contemporary and deeply rooted in the myth and legend of ages past. The two lead actors on the stage of these works are a dramatic expression of light, and the powerful physicality of the substance of paint. Watching the drama play out in each piece is a singular experience.
