Kevin yuen artist biography

Bio

Kevin Yaun (b. 1986) is a Los Angeles based painter whose transient lifestyle moved him across the US as well as Northern Europe and Southeast Asia. His paintings go on a journey themselves as they emerge from layers of paint, arriving at a balanced state of distant yet optimistic.

He explores the complex relationship we have with our idea of home and asks us to picture it as an abstract concept.

In 2024, Kevin graduated with an MFA from Laguna College of art. That year also marked his first solo show with the Billis Williams Gallery in LA.

His paintings have been shown in public settings like the Laguna Art Museum and are permanently featured in the Pacific Art Foundation, Fulton County Art Collection and many private collections around the world. He shows a range of sizes of paintings including monumental scales that invoke feelings of a kind of “architectural sublime”, inspired by painters like Mark Rothko, Clifford Still, and Caspar David Friedrich.
