Kevin Ducoing
Artist Bio
Kevin Ducoing lives in West Seattle. He has lived in Washington since 1982 when his family left California and put down roots in the Pacific Northwest. Kevin immediately felt the draw of PNW aesthetic; damp, but clean and crisp, most times a bit more monochromatic than many other places.
His work reflects what may be the Pacific Northwest mindset: infusion of gray skies, dark forests, sounds muted by ancient beds of pine needles, and local lore brimming with ghost stories. Kevin feels acutely the interaction of this aesthetic in the small towns that dot the landscape and push up against or raze ancient forests. His desire is to express this duality with the feeling that it is actually we who are the ghost stories, and that the landscape may tell its own stories about us.
