Kevin Vincent

Kevin Vincent is an artist working primarily with sculpture and assemblages that utilize found trees and charged materials, such as rope, leather, bone, stones, ash, and copper, to investigate the relationships between people of color and materials that have historically been used to harm or instill fear. Does reworking materials that represent aspects of this historical trauma, somehow change this relationship to violence? Vincent explores this and other questions surrounding memory, history, growth, perseverance, and integration through the physical act of combining materials that represent the body and materials that represent trauma. Each of his assemblages not only offers a unique way to visualize this trauma, but also offers a way for individuals to deal with it.
