Kevin Gilmore

Oil Painting, Mixed Media

Kevin Gilmore is an interdisciplinary artist, working as a painter, experimental sound composer, and educator.  Originally from Rhode Island he spent over a decade exploring the landscapes of Wyoming, Oregon, Italy, and Brooklyn.  As an abstract visual artist working with collage, acrylic and oils, the sense of place becomes the subject of his abstract canvases.  Gilmore works with sound as a medium, composing experimental soundscapes from field recordings, acousmatics through contact microphones, digital instruments and analogue synthesizers.  His teaching philosophy has developed through a similar intuitive process, with experience leading workshops and teaching undergraduate art classes. After starting a family in NYC, Kevin returned to his native state... as Rhode Islanders often do.  His interdisciplinary art practice is located close to the sea where he also lives with his wife, two children and his dog.
