Kevin Xiques

Kevin Xiques is a self-taught artist based in Portland, Maine. In December of 2020 he began painting for the first time, and is now fully immersed in his practice. Xiques’s work is primarily based in acrylic paint on canvas. His subject matter focuses on free will and pure expression, which he channels through his use of color and mark making. Growing up as a person of color in a rural town in Vermont, Xiques actively suppressed his individuality, taking away much of his childhood freedom in an attempt to blend in. Currently, his practice is centered around reclaiming that freedom through his work.
