Artist Information

Kevin Liang, born in China in 1957 to a family of artists, writers, and photographers, was immersed in creativity from an early age. Despite his artistic surroundings, he pursued a degree in Chinese literature at Jinan University. After emigrating to New York in 1982, he expanded his studies to include computer science. Yet, his passion for art ultimately led him to dedicate himself entirely to oil painting, reconnecting with his artistic roots.

Nature has always been at the heart of Kevin’s work. Early in his career, he focused on realistic landscapes and still-life paintings, often using photographs as references. Over the past 30 years, he has traveled extensively across the United States, showcasing his art and painting en plein air to capture the fleeting interplay of color and light in nature. His works are known for their vibrant, emotional palettes, with colors that resonate like the ringing of bronze and silver bells, evoking joy, passion, and love.

Kevin primarily uses a palette knife, creating dynamic textures that convey the movement and essence of the natural world. His introspective paintings gently remind viewers of the value of tranquility and rest.

Since 2014, Kevin has expanded his creative repertoire to include digital art combined with mixed media. This experimentation has resulted in a striking series of colorful works, dye-infused into aluminum, pushing the boundaries of his artistic expression.

Kevin Liang’s art has received numerous awards in national juried competitions and is part of corporate, public, and private collections across the country.
