Texas-based artist Kevin Peterson describes his work as"the varied journeys we take through life. It’s about
growing up and living in a world that is broken. These paintings are
about trauma, fear and loneliness and the strength that it takes to
survive and thrive. They each contain the contrast of the untainted,
young and innocent against a backdrop of a worn, ragged, and defiled
world. Support versus restraint, bondage versus freedom, and tension
versus slack". As a Brooklyn native myself, where sprawling graffiti is as much part of the background as trees are, these images juxtapose a familiar truth that Peterson's work faithfully illustrates; the convergence of both sides of the tracks.
