Kevin Calbert is a lifelong painter interested in using landscape and representation to convey mood and abstract ideas. A Fine Arts/Graphic Design graduate of Louisiana State University, his painting education consists of equal parts classical study and creative experimentation, with experience spanning more than thirty years as a working artist in a variety of media. His major painting influences have included the French Impressionists and early 20th century Surrealists, Cubists, Fauvists, and Realists. Popular culture, photography, books and film have also influenced his work.
His most recent paintings focus on subjects connected to the environment and culture of the Gulf coast and Caribbean, combining realist and impressionist techniques to capture specific locations as they appear at a particular instant. He is based in Denham Springs, Louisiana, and his work can also be found online at kevincalbert.com and “Kevin Calbert Paintings” on Facebook and Instagram.
