The Denver-based painter Kevin Sloan mainly works with acrylic on canvas and sometimes draws and paints on paper. He explores the poetic dimensions of nature using a representational and scientific style. 

Obviously, his paintings which were featured with natural world intricately rendered birds and evoke Audubon’s realist approach and taxonomic faithfulness.

By creating visual stories with the use of allegory, the artist is able to point at something in the world without screaming about it. Additionally, his core attention when he uses allegorical imagery is to open up possibilities of seeing the world through a different lens. 

“The highly symbolic paintings are an ongoing inquiry into the relationship between the marvel of the natural world and the mundane and often blunt reality of the modern era.  More poetic than merely descriptive, the work moves between lush and starkly theatrical.  Recurring themes are fragility and strength, old and new, the expected and unexpected, loss and resiliency”, he stated on his website.
