About Kenneth Joslin
My Artistic Vision
Kenneth Joslin a native of Los Angeles, CA was recognized at an early age for his creative drive and was inspired by his elementary and high school teachers. Encouraged by family and friends, Kenneth studied art throughout secondary school. After high school graduation, he attended Otis Parsons College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, CA, where he majored in Illustration and Painting. Kenneth admires artist such as Jacob Lawrence, George A. Hunt, Joseph Holston, William Tolliver, and Robert Gwathmey.
Artist Statement
I create Kenneth Joslin Originals for the sole purpose of ownership. However, ownership of an original piece is not limited to the exchange of commerce for a work of art.
About My Style
Creating expressionist paintings allows me to prioritize emotional intensity and inner psychological states over realistic likeness. By using distorted forms, non-naturalistic vivid colors, and energetic textured brushwork, I convey the subjective feeling of a subject rather than just their outward appearance.
