Artist Bio

Kevin Montanaro is a painter, illustrator and photographer who lives in Richmond, Virginia. He began his journey in publishing and commercial art and design in the early 1990’s and has since developed as a gallery artist and curator, displaying his work and others’ in several galleries around the U.S. He is best known for creating highly detailed portraiture in the medium of acrylic, but has also worked with fashion, architecture, and automotive subjects. “I am less interested in natural landscapes and scenery, I very much prefer the lines and textures of humans and things humans create.”

Kevin’s emphasis on fine detail and dynamic subjects captures a moment in life and creates a conversation between the subject and the viewer, using that conversation to attempt to speak directly from artist to audience.
