Kevin Appel

There are no mere coincidences in life. The universe is just way too expansive for two things to simply coincide with each other (no matter how small or big a coincidence it may be) for people to quietly it brush off. That’s why when I came across Kevin Appel’s mixed media pieces of owls, of all animals, I had to share. What’s so special about owls? I hate to be so cryptic, but let’s just say that some of us at EK had a very “spiritual” overnight encounter with this culturally and traditionally symbolic animal in the California/Nevada desert near the Death Valley a couple of weeks ago trapped inside a rental car, and our respect for the natural world and the way of the universe has grown fonder.

I love it when the universe and art smashes together like a rouge asteroid hurling blindly through space on a crash-course towards a small blue-green marble planet.

Currently based out of Los Angeles, California, USA, Appel’s mixed media pieces consists of screen prints, enamel, acrylic, and other inks.
