Kevin Perry is a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, mixed media, and photography. His work explores composition, material, and the tension between structure and spontaneity, drawing from the landscapes, histories, and visual culture of the American West.
Across mediums, Perry is interested in the ways images and surfaces carry history. His mixed-media work brings together hand-painted and hand-dyed papers, vintage materials, and worn surfaces, while his paintings and photography extend that interest through figure, landscape, color, and place. His work moves between the personal and archival, raw and refined, exploring ideas of memory, identity, and transformation.
Perry is represented by Modern West Fine Art in Salt Lake City. He is the founder and curator of The Helper Mini, an experimental micro-gallery in Helper, Utah, and the creator of Helper Sublime, an ongoing photographic study of the town and its surrounding landscape. His broader creative practice spans art, design, curation, and education, including co-founding Salt Lake Design Week and teaching Design Strategy at the University of Utah.
