About the artist
Kevin Moss is a multimedia sculptor and painter, based in Costal Virginia. Known for his unique cast-resin jellyfish wall-sculptures, process-based abstract paintings, and site-specific, large-scale installations and sculptures that have a focus on the natural world and our connections with the environment… through playful and imaginative twists.
The natural world is an intimate source of inspiration and the uniting focus of Moss’s art and other life pursuits. He has an appetite for exploring the beauty and essence of the natural world and for encouraging its protection. Moss’s commitment to immersive encounters with nature and to a creative transfer of its wonders are both intrinsic to his way of life.
In 2023, Kevin completed his most recent collection of sculptures: created for the newest addition to Virginia Beach’s historic Cavalier Resort, as a tribute to this area’s elite history as a top music venue in the 30’s & 40’s. Kevin investigates parallels between the tools of musical expression and the organic rhythms of the animal kingdom. Making playful connections, these larger-than-life installations pull us in to observe our kinship with the environment and speak to sources of awe found in music and nature.
Nature & Process
Statement by the artist: “In the experience of creating, I find my senses attuned to nature. The natural world is so familiar, yet so mysterious, at the same time. While Nature’s organic systems are simple, they are also infinitely complex. True depths of beauty observed in the calm of nature are a source of deep inspiration, and have become the core influence of my creative process. I am interested in the process of layering in the development of nature’s brilliant scenes. The formation of all its parts, dynamic and ever-changing, perfect in their imperfections, places me into a state of wonderment and awe.
The exploration of nature and our connection with its ways, and processes of making works of art through the experimental development of composition, and mind-body-nature studies has become my attempt to evoke a semblance of this feeling. I have endeavored to find the balance between simplicity and depth in my work, connecting with the reality of the organic balance inherent in all life.”
