Kevin Kepple at Addison Ripley

so beautiful I weep
I raced from my open studio Saturday to Georgetown for Kevin Kepple's opening at Addison Ripley. Kevin is another alumnus of the Late-Lamented Millenium Art Center who has been making his truly unique and gorgeous work for some years (although, to be sure, he's still a young guy). Kevin works with ink, glue and varnish, which by some secret (and tres stinky, as I can personally attest) alchemy he transforms into work of such luminosity that it fairly vibrates. Kevin's newest work is much more colorful  than in the past and he is using white backgrounds in some of the largest pieces in a way that lets the other colors sing even more clearly. The reception was jammed and a lot of the people looked like they were there to buy, so bravo and good luck to you, Kevin. it is well-earned.
