Show Statement:
‘Things in Bold’ is the working title for Kevin Proctor’s general body of artistic work. The inspiration for his illustrations comes from many sources: nature, architecture, dreams about dinosaurs and direction from his seven year old son.
“The common thread among my subjects is the bold forms and compositions they comprise. I greatly appreciate the simple arrangements, line work, and sparing use of colors in both vintage posters and contemporary ‘New Brow’ art. My ‘mind’s eye’ has a thirst for these striking styles which guides my artistic process. I also like to weave a bit of humor and unpredictability into my work as I generally have an odd take on life. I find showing and sharing my work in public places very exciting and rewarding and I greatly appreciate opportunities to do so.” – Kevin Proctor
