Kevin Francis GrayCollaboration coming soonMarble sculptures by Kevin Francis Gray bring traditional stone-carving techniques into contemporary view. The artist also works with bronze, clay, wood and metal to create a range of busts, standing figures and reclining nudes, as well as group compositions. Art historical influences from neoclassical and modernist sculpture combine with personal musings on life and society. Immensely textural, the works juxtapose hyperreal, gloss finishes with coarse, raw surfaces which highlight the hand of the artist in visceral marks made from gauging fists and fingers. While Gray's early oeuvre features a range of representational veiled figures, his later work moves toward abstraction - still obscuring the identities of his subjects, but in a distinctly different style.
