Kevin Willcocks
Oils, Acrylic, Watercolour and Mixed Media
Kevin was born in 1961 on the North Shore of Auckland, New Zealand and now lives in beautiful Mangawhai. He painted his first oil painting at the age of 10, the first of many throughout his school years and has painted steadily since, alongside employment in the boatbuilding, building and movie industries.
He has exhibited and sold his works through a number of galleries throughout the wider Auckland area, along with a large volume of commissioned work.
Kevin paints a broad range of subject matter, fascinated especially with the New Zealand coastline and landscape with it's ever changing colours and moods continuing to inspire and provide motivation. With the ability to express himself freely he loves to experiment with form, technique and medium leading him down a path of exciting creativity.
Kevin works in oils, acrylics and watercolours with an increasing range of structural, composite, textural and organic materials. Exploring the relationships between various colour harmonies and surface textures, providing a vast range of possibilities through material choice.
Kevin’s art is not an excuse to present complex theories or ideas, instead it speaks for itself giving the viewer the opportunity to take in the work as a whole and in doing so creating interest, visual engagement and a sense of pleasure.
Kevin has a home studio and gallery and always welcomes the opportunity to discuss with potential clients about commission proposals.
“My art to me is not just a passion but more of an obsession to me, spanning over 45 years…..it’s always with me no matter what I’m doing…..a deep seated part of me…..it is me and I absolutely love being creative in all the various aspects of my art”
