I'd Rather Kill Than Compromise
In this artwork—made with Conté, charcoal, and acrylic on canvas—abstracted figures participate in a free-for-all brawl.
Kevin Perkins works in sculpture, printmaking, drawing, and painting. His vibrant images of figures in conflict come from comics, 1990s video games, and art history, evoking notions of internal and external conflict through emotional, dense compositions.
