Background:
Kalin grew up drawing and painting in the small town of Lubec, Maine, in the States (middle of nowheresville county and proud of it). After a classic New England childhood Kalin moved out west to live and study in Vancouver. About the fourth year of drawing his way through a linguistics degree he had a change of heart and began painting.
Without any formal guidance or training, hints of style began to bud through his work and blossom into a mischievous demon crossbreed between classic techniques and contemporary illustrative lining. But the real gems of Kalin’s pieces are more to be found in work ethic. From 50 to 500 hours, his paintings express an attention and care that is often lacking in today’s contemporary art. His work thrives on the almost microscopic details and a painting that looks like it must be huge may in fact be of a more conservative size. Using tiny brushes (no pens), sanded wood and the lost art of “the seven point hand stabilization technique” (not a real technique…) he is able to achieve the desired effect and bring to you an art like you’ve never seen before. One that truly needs to be seen in person to appreciate.
Kalin now lives and works as an artist in Brisbane, Australia. Illustrating and painting from a small studio (…desk) in his home, exhibiting when and where he can, and always with the aim to impress. Pushing the boundaries of conception and imagination, servin’ it up fresh and hot… right to your plate…when you need it.
