First Friday Picture Show: Paintings by Kevin Margitich
This month's First Friday Picture Show features the paintings of Kevin Margitich. When not working at a local newspaper, Kevin spends most of his
days brewing beer, painting, and home renovating. Over the past few years, his
paintings have been shown in Seattle, New Hampshire, Florida, and Pennsylvania. Hanging his hat in Philadelphia, Kevin’s most recent and
upcoming shows combine his sketchy-minimal-style animal art and
his homebrewed beer. This collection of paintings from 2009-2011 is best summed up in
this quote: “He avoids strict realism in favor of a more compassionate, almost
human expression, opting for blank, solid color backgrounds, maybe with a
silhouetted tree, in lieu of his subjects’ literal habitat.”(Alicia
Grega-Pikul: Electric City). You can find Kevin online at kevinmargitich.com and brewsofourlives.blogspot.com. Enjoy!
