Kevin Marion, Artist, Galleria Balmain

Kevin Marion

I am a licensed architect in the State of North Carolina. I have a Master's Degree in Architecture from the University of Colorado at Denver and a Bachelor's Degree in Architecture from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I am a design/project architect providing services for a wide variety of construction projects. I love to produce abstract art whenever I can carve out some time. I live in Mocksville, North Carolina and I am married to Susan, my high school sweetheart. We have a beautiful daughter, Hazel, a handsome son, Silas, and adorable twin girls, Ruby and Iris. Being that my work is digital, I feel like on the surface my process might seem a little blasé (I mean, I sit in front of a computer and press buttons and move a mouse around:)). In actuality, I think it is quite fascinating. I do enjoy sketching with pen and pencil, and that is how my digital art journey began. I scanned some pen and ink drawings and then applied color to them using Adobe Photoshop. With these scanned and colored images, I found that using certain filters and effects I could create more impressionistic pieces as well as abstract ones void of any figurative content. With my early abstract experiments, I discovered that I could zoom into a particular area within a piece, crop it out, enlarge it and then add intricate detail to it to create a new piece. And then I did it again, and again. To date I have created hundreds of new pieces of art using this method of zooming, cropping and enlarging. Essentially I have large pieces that quite literally originated from less than a single pixel of an earlier piece. After trying to print these pieces to canvas and being very disappointed at the loss of detail and vibrancy due to the texture I found Vivid Metal Prints, a company close to me in Lexington, NC, that dye sublimates images to Chromaluxe aluminum panels, and the results were stunning. I’ve been using them ever since for my original work.
