Kevin William Reed lives and works in Red Hook, Brooklyn, NY. He makes drawings and paintings that reflect the resilience of the natural world as it basks in the radioactive neon waves of urban intensity. A queer forest standing in the face of a fascist regime — the keepers of every technology known to man. A space to grow, release + return. Kevin William Reed is a wild horse in outer space.
