Kevin Kutz works outdoors,
on site, and strives to portray the human quality of a scene as
"a recording of present time that will later be history." To
achieve this, Kutz often utilizes odd perspectives and
juxtapositions of figures and settings. Altoona is
characteristic of his style and choice of subject. His work is
naturalistic but differs from many popular styles of Photorealism.
Kutz's works are not simply "color drawings" but develop from the
manipulation of paint, his main focus.
Kutz, born in Pittsburgh in 1955, began to paint at the age of
eight. He attended Carnegie Mellon University from 1973 to 1975.
He also studied briefly under American Impressionist Robert
Brackman and has exhibited widely and regularly in Southwestern
Pennsylvania since 1977.
