Kevin Tran made his solo debut in 2009, circled the globe (exhibiting all over Austalia, Hong Kong and California) and by March 2010 was granted an artist-in-residency at Newington Armory Studios, which is where he created his most recent body of work, Strobe. Bravo!
By applying chalk pastel, acrylic, gouache, water colour, Indian ink and pencil onto plywood, Tran has created limited edition prints that embody a particular energy and rhythm found within the crowds of people, places and memories that define the balmy nights of Summer.
Tran’s retrospective glimpse at music festivals, inspired by vivid colours and the pulsing symphony of nocturnal light shows, gets us itching for an endless summer. Again.
