Drawing from art history, Kevin Ford has established a rich inner reservoir of images from which he selects elements for his paintings. Employing a variety of methods, like commercial spray tools, brushes and rags, Ford overlays, erases, and enhances the canvas until the depiction achieves their desired state. His paintings exhibit a transformation, oscillating between the abstract and the tangible, seamlessly blending the foreign with the known.

Kevin Ford (b. 1975, Samford, CT) received his MFA in Painting from Yale University, New Haven, CT (1999) and his BFA in Painting from Boston University (1997).
