Charles Froelick MAY 24, 2020 comments: Kevin Kadar has explored a handful of series over the years including the figure, abstractions, homage to historic artists, and landscapes. He is acutely attentive to details, and I appreciate that he is not fastidiously reliant on realism. I'm putting a spotlight on this work because it's such a fine interpretation of the Scappoose River running into the Columbia - it's a luminous painting! It makes my eyes squint anticipating the approaching, bright, hazy Summer. Kevin packs a lot into a single brush stroke- complex colors piled into one gesture. I appreciate disturbing art, but I also treasure seeing art that celebrates beauty-like this.
