London Irish artist Kevin Gavaghan is originally from North London and now works from his studio in Hertford. A self-taught artist he creates brooding and evocative figurative paintings dancing around the fringes of surrealism and abstract art.

Kevin’s paintings are an inner journey of self-exploration and emotional memories into his life growing up from the 1970s in a large Irish family whilst coping with the complexity of life with Tourette’s and anxiety-related illnesses. He sees the past and its content as informing the present and the decisions we make in our daily lives.
