Devin Kenny
Devin Kenny’s art practice includes painting, sculpture, photography, video, performance, music, digital art, writing, curatorial projects and more. Kenny’s works in one-off pieces as well as series with special attention given to the ephemeral, especially in urban centers. Their current work looks at cultures of the African Diaspora impacted by chattel slavery in relationship to network culture and online communities. Kenny also has a special interest in pop culture and subcultures of the past and present. With the bulk of their youth spent in Chicago and New York City, as an adult, Kenny’s practice has continued to Los Angeles, Houston, Mexico City, Amsterdam, Berlin, and the UK, oftentimes using specific elements of the cultural environment as a spark for curiosity and exploration. Cross-cultural and resourceful, Kenny's intuitive and research-responsive art looks at the subversive possibilities of repurposing while exhibiting flashes of the heartfelt, the humorous, and the critical.
