About
Kevin Barrett was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1962; his family relocated to New York several years later. He is a third generation artist, the son of renowned sculptor Bill Barrett, and the grandson of renowned abstract painter, Stan Barrett, who studied with Fernand Léger, and founded the Art Department at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee.
Barrett studied sculpture at the Maryland Institute of Art as well as the School of Visual Arts in New York. Upon completion of his studies, he was employed by the Shidoni Foundry in New Mexico where he oversaw fabrication and bronze casting for many years.
Considered an expert in his medium, as a young artist he consulted independently with and built sculptures for a number of well-known artists in New York, New Mexico and Europe including Herbert Ferber, Tom Wesselmann and Alan Houser among others. He continues to be sought after for advice and consultation in creating and maintaining metal sculpture.
Barrett set up his first studio in Miami, before returning to New York City where he maintained a studio for over 20 years. He recently relocated to Duxbury, MA where he currently resides with his family.
Barrett’s work has been widely exhibited throughout the US and Europe and can be found in the collections of the Kruizenga Art Museum, Vero Beach Museum, The Interlocken Center for the Arts, Saugatuck Center for the Arts, The City of Coral Springs, and important, private collections world-wide.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Spending my formative years in New York City, my work carries an urban attitude. Graffiti was everywhere, energizing the city with its animated movement and youthful voice. This energy and animation still influences the work I make today.
There is a visual language to every form and shape I create, reflecting everyday life and our relationships to each other, as well as the world around us. I strive to balance and harmonize the many elements in life that affect all of us as we move through space and time. I work with industrial materials and utilize minimalist principles, combining the two and aiming to humanize the unyielding material into organic shapes, creating a unified ideal and harmonic vision.
My work is a creative impulse that inspires me to push the limits of the material, making my process a part of the art itself. I feel a great deal of excitement when a work is successfully completed and I hope to share this with an audience.
