Kevin Campbell est un artiste estampier qui travaille surtout en sérigraphie et en lithographie traditionelle. Il a reçu son baccalauréat en arts visuels du Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.

Campbell documente des quartiers en état de ruines comme endroits d’abandon et d’espoir. Sa pratique pivote sur des lieux abondonnés tels que des fermes et des stations-service allant du paysage rural canadien aux endroits industriels de grandes villes.

Dans le travail présenté, la peinture en aérosol crée un arrière-plan éclatant tout en référant la condition actuelle des sites du Fisher Body Plant 21 et le Packard Plant (Detroit, Michigan) qui servent comme support pour le graffiti de tagueurs.

Kevin Campbell is a printmaker with a focus in stone lithography and screen print. He received his BFA in Fine Arts from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University.

Kevin is interested in documenting ruins as sites of both loss and hope. His practice has focused on abandonments from Canadian rural farmhouses, gas stations and townhouses to larger cities such as Detroit, Michigan. Through the process of creating a print, images dissolve and reform through CMYK colour separations. The distortion of the layer break ups and re-combination though printing is used as a method to further emphasize the fragmented reality in which we live in.

In the presented works, spray paint creates a vibrant background while anchoring the work to the modern condition of the primary sites of the Fisher Body Plant 21 and Packard Plant, both from Detroit. Both are now large abandonments of the auto industry used by taggers as blank canvases.
