- - About the Artist - -
Kev Munday creates colorful, utopian worlds and invites the viewer to spend some time in them. Inspired by observing people and everyday life, Kev overplays and celebrates the ordinary and aims to appeal to all ages with his art.
In the tradition of artists such as Hieronymus Bosch, Munday's paintings can be read like a hidden-picture book, presenting detailed scenes with people, animals, creatures, and objects waiting to be discovered and interpreted by the viewer.
With bold lines and block colors, the vitality of Munday's style creates a captivating visual experience. His iconic crowd paintings depict a sea of unique individuals paying tribute to the beauty of diversity. Each portrait is valued equally, collectively forming an impressive vision of community that is more than the sum of its parts.
Kev began his artistic career at age 16 and arrived at his first creative ventures through street art. Painting walls and leaving stickers, glue, and other markings on urban furniture. It was only a few years later that a fellow artist suggested transferring his artworks to canvas, and he immediately felt drawn to the surface. Building on the style he had developed in street work, Kev continued working with spray paint and markers, using the vibrant colors and bold lines that remain present in his work today.
Munday's art has been exhibited in some of the UK's most infamous galleries, including The Royal Academy Of Arts, The Arnolfini and The Hayward Gallery. He is regularly invited to produce artworks live at art fairs and events; past appearances include the Affordable Art Fair Amsterdam, the Fresh Art Fair Ascot, and London Fashion Week. Kev's art is collected worldwide, with exhibitions in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany in recent years.
In 2019, Kev Munday teamed up with IKEA to release a coloring-in poster. The detailed illustration in his characteristic style sold worldwide in excess of 30,000 copies.
In 2022, Kev held solo exhibitions in Seoul, London, and Paris.
