Kevin Llewellyn

Kevin Llewellyn is an American painter known for his realistic 17th-Century style oil paintings featuring the human figure in dark, often hauntingly provocative themes of love, death, and beauty — his art contains objects symbolic of the inevitability of death and the transience and vanity of earthly pleasures; it exhorts the viewer to consider mortality and the fragility of life, love, and vanitas through a contemporary gothic vision.

Llewellyn’s artwork hangs in museums and prestigious collections around the world, including: Madonna, The Getty Family, Marilyn Manson, Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, Robin Williams, The Butler Institute of American Art, Kat Von D, and Trent Reznor.

He’s also created concept art for video games such as Fallout 3, as well as numerous feature films for Marvel Studios, Walt Disney, Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, Imaginary Forces, Dreamworks, Lucasfilm, and Universal.

Kevin has taught Anatomical Figure Workshops at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Getty Museum, Norton Simon Museum, and the Ringling School of Art + Design — as well as various ateliers in Amsterdam, Germany, and Paris. Llewellyn currently resides in Hollywood, California.
