Home. Kevin Andrew, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

By Gina Malone<\/p>\n

After Kevin Andrew obtained an undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering and a master\u2019s in Structural Engineering, he found a dream job designing skyscrapers in Chicago. \u201cI quickly realized I hated it,\u201d he says. \u201cI had never questioned my purpose or existence. I was on the path of school, career, retire, die and call it a life. There is nothing wrong with that path, but it just was not for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the warning his father had given him years before about choosing an artistic path resounding in his head, he then began working in IT consulting for a corporation in Charlotte. His father had voiced the opinion that embracing the art that he loved during his school years would lead to a life lived in the basement of the family home. So Andrew, once again, chose the \u201cright\u201d path.<\/p>\n

An opportunity to display his artwork at a gallery in a hair salon, however, gave him an inkling of how life as an artist might actually be. Although he had low expectations before the opening reception, family came and strangers showed up as well. \u201cI sold most of the work,\u201d Andrew says. \u201cThis salon\/gallery gave me a space to be empowered to do my thing, and it forever changed my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

He quit corporate work and, in 2015, started Advent Coworking, a coworking space. \u201cWe focused on helping our members grow and connect,\u201d he says. \u201cWe grew from 4,700 square feet to 30,000 square feet and had more than 400 members over the course of six and a half years. We had multiple event rooms, a podcast studio, a curated gallery, huge work spaces and offices, a library and partnerships all over Charlotte.\u201d<\/p>\n

After selling the business to a competitor and spending some time soul searching, he moved to Asheville with the intent, at last, of embracing art full-time. \u201cThe concept of having a working studio space that was open to the public blew my mind,\u201d he says. As suggested by Julia Cameron\u2019s creativity guidebook, The Artist\u2019s Way<\/em>, he spoke aloud his intention of becoming a full-time artist. \u201cTwo weeks later I was able to get a working studio\/gallery space in a coveted building in the River Arts District from an obscure connection and it began,\u201d he says. \u201cDay 1 was very strange, doing what I loved full-time.\u201d<\/p>\n

As with his previous enterprise, he treats creating art as a business. \u201cHowever, it\u2019s a balance of not letting business and making money completely destroy my creative process and freedom,\u201d he says. \u201cI have since moved to a bigger, ground-level studio\/gallery with storefront glass with my name on the window. I have not reached my monthly revenue goals yet, but it\u2019s been less than three years, and I\u2019m on track to get there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrew paints with acrylics and markers, applying and moving color on the canvas with all manner of implements including palette knives, cold-wax scrapers, large squeegees and toothbrushes. He starts each painting with a plan\u2014colors, layers, meaning, title. \u201cMy paintings never go how I planned them,\u201d he says. \u201cThe ones that do, I\u2019m not usually that happy with.\u201d Often, when he\u2019s just about ready to paint over what he has done so far, there\u2019s a breakthrough. \u201cOut of nowhere, one stroke, one scrap of a color that I\u2019m worried about, completely makes the painting,\u201d he says. \u201cIt just clicks. I cannot explain it. Even the meaning has changed for me because I heard a song which got me down a very different thought process. It still related to my original intention of creation, but took it much further and darker than I originally wanted to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Into his creations go a variety of ideas that relate to and are expressions of his life and what he sees around him. \u201cJust looking into the forest is inspiration for hundreds of paintings,\u201d he says. \u201cFamily, world events, ethics, politics, equitable conversations, self-growth, self-reflection, appreciation, are just a few of the topics I explore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Graffiti, the Art Nouveau movement and abstract expressionist artists of the early to mid-20th century are among the influential styles for him. \u201cMy latest work infusing big, bold outlined Art Nouveau flowers with graffiti and a healthy amount of abstract negative space is blowing my mind,\u201d he says. \u201cI love it, and it\u2019s coming from deep within or, hopefully, from the universe.\u201d He adds, \u201cCreating is an emotional roller coaster with an unknown ending most of the time. The feeling of doubt, remorse and fear I have when I\u2019m painting always leads to a new step in my creative journey, and I have learned to embrace the chaos of creation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Art, the life path that once seemed not \u201cright\u201d in comparison with traditional careers, has become entangled with Andrew\u2019s life purpose in ways he still seeks to discover. \u201cMy art is an expression of my life,\u201d he says. \u201cI need it. I don\u2019t think I could stop painting tomorrow, for the rest of my life, and be okay mentally or physically.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liz Taggart commissioned a painting by Andrew and says that he is someone to watch. \u201cAs an artist, Kevin\u2019s inner drive and creative inspirations find dynamic expression in his approach to the elements of painting\u2014space, directions, colors, paints and brushwork, geometry and relationships on the canvas,\u201d she says. \u201cEach is thoughtfully layered into compelling compositions of tension and balance, and his signature style of unresolved abstraction,\u201d she says. \u201cThe energizing brushwork is deliberate. The movement on the canvas is compelling, and his use of color, oftentimes inspired. Kevin has that \u2018fire in his belly\u2019 that a collector wants to find in an artist and his work breathes that passion.\u201d<\/p>\n
