Follower of minimalism, Kevin Finklea proposes here an artwork composed of a flashy green square in a silver gray rectangle.

In his work, colors are usually treated as pair and juxtaposed, allowing an exchange of energies. Moreover, a large number of colors used by the artist are quite rare, and even not produced anymore for some.

Kevin Finklea otherwise plays with composition, by juxtaposing shapes of generally unequal sizes, refusing a perfect sharing of space between each shape.
