Kevin Ford is interested in intense looking. Using a combination of brushwork and airbrushing, he blends the languages of Spanish still lifes , symbolism, cartoons, and abstraction to bring a sense of historic urgency to overlooked, everyday objects.

His work has been included in solo exhibitions at 12.26 Gallery, Dallas, TX, Semiose Galerie, Paris, FR, Kate Werble Gallery, New York, NY, Tops Gallery, Memphis, TN, and at MARCH, New York, NY. Kevin's work has been exhibited in group exhibitions at The Center for Maine Contemporary Art, ME, Inman Gallery, TX, Reyes Finn, MI, Casey Kaplan, NY, The Islip Art Museum, NY, Tops Gallery, TN, and elsewhere.
