Lives and works in Philadelphia, PA
Kevin Finklea is interested in intense chromatic color, and more particularly the color range found in psychotropic medications; specifically those used to treat depression and psychosis. Ultimately Finklea's works are created to reflect and confront the massive lack of viewer attention that painting must contend with at present.
