The Middlesex University Fine Art graduate spends around 80-100 hours to
complete his amazing pencil drawings over approximately three weeks in
the studio. The genre is known as ‘photo-realism’ and Kelvin creates
his detailed work based on a mixture of life and photographs. The highly skilled 27-year old has already had more than 50 commissions
and is generating a buzz at galleries he exhibits at and online . The Tottenham based artist said: “I’ve always been creative, but fell in
love with using pencils in particular. It was only when my images
started to create a buzz with other Middlesex University students that I
realised their impact.”
Before even starting a piece, Kelvin spends a few days analysing a
photo, concentrating firstly on the subject’s eyes as he shapes the
portrait through them due to their importance to the piece. Starting
from £5,000, each of his pieces of work sells for on average
£8,000-£10,000 dependent on the scale.
“The attention I’m
receiving is surreal and hasn’t really sunk in yet. I’m usually
sheltered from it in my studio as I continue to build my portfolio, but
I’m really humbled and honoured that so many people appreciate my work.
I hope to have my own gallery in the future,” added Kelvin. I watched this amazing artist on T.V and just thought to share he is really amazing!! entertain yourself with his step by step sketch below.
