Johnson, Kevin, (Revisiting the Dream)

"Revisiting The Dream" by Kevin Johnson 20 x 24 inches oil on canvas, (2022)   Kevin Johnson is a Colorado-based painter, concept artist, graphic designer, sculptor, and animator known for his striking employment of vibrant colors and depictions of everyday people progressing, evolving through life. A native of Louisville, Kentucky, Johnson pulls his images from childhood memories, life experiences, and his active imagination, with friends and family inspiring several works. Primarily working in acrylic but known to “dive into oil paint from time to time,” Johnson paints positive figures and images, ones that leave us hopeful, enchanted, inspired.  “I love using bright colors and painting images of people and how they move through life. It’s amazing, to me, how we can change from day to day.”  A retired 21-year member of the U.S. Army who actively served in Iraq and Afghanistan, Johnson graduated with a B.S. in computer animation from Full Sail University before returning to school
