Kevin Zabasky Perkins (b. 1987, Louisiana) is a self-taught artist based in Dallas, Texas, whose work delves into themes of personal identity, mythic storytelling, and internal conflict. While
initially pursuing an academic path in Theology, Zabasky Perkins began using painting as a means to explore the same ends—Kevin intertwines his fascination with perennial traditions and mythological narratives into his  practice. Zabasky Perkins’ recent paintings are characterized by the use of unprimed, raw canvas—combined with either gouache, oil, or pastels. Through his paintings, Zabasky Perkins is simultaneously receiving, retelling and creating new stories—often with nods to art history mixed with personal references. As Kevin's practice continues to evolve, he integrates personal experiences with broader cultural and mythological themes, creating paintings that serve as a conduit for introspection and dialogue.
