Bird Holds the Balance
2026 · 30 × 30"
Description
The Bird Holds the Balance unfolds on a dark blue-violet ground, where a pale, exposed armature sketches the unstable outline of a bird, a body, and a martini glass all at once. The line feels raw and almost provisional, not hidden beneath the painting, but left visible as the work's nervous system, holding together a figure that appears to lean, wobble, and recover itself in the same moment. Thick passages of burgundy, black, violet, and red gather near the upper right like intoxicated weight, giving the otherwise skeletal form a sudden physical pull. In this playful but precise composition, Kevin turns imbalance into structure, transforming the goofy elegance of a bird's stagger into a meditation on poise, fragility, and the strange architecture of staying upright.
