Kevin Sloan is very interested in what it means to be a painter of the natural world in a time of such extraordinary change environmentally, politically and socially.
He is known for his imaginative, adventurous and detailed universe. Kevin Sloan explores the poetic dimensions of nature using a representational, scientific style. Subtly allegorical, his work probes the relationship between humans, animals, and nature in the contemporary world.
