Biography:

Kevin Larmon is an American artist born in 1955 in Syracuse, New York. He is known for his paintings that often deal with issues such as the male body image and fascist culture. Larmon started making still life paintings in 1979 and has since worked with atmospheric drawings and paintings, many of which are made on canvas or wood. His paintings are built up through layers of collage and paint, often featuring collages of gay male pornography that have been painted over with images that exist somewhere in between abstraction and form. Larmon's work has been associated with the post-conceptualism and neo-conceptual art movements.
