Images of Eyes Gallery II
Acrylic Paintings of Catholic Saints
by Kevin Raye Larson from his "Saint" Series
Krayel Art Studio
United States

Kevin Larson's controversial and critically acclaimed "Saint" Series is Kevin's most ambitious collection to date.  Because of its interpretation and depiction of the Catholic Saints, the collection has garnered its critical acclaim as well as damnation.  Although Larson has no Catholic affiliation himself, clergy members and their following are some of his most avid collectors.  Reproductions of the "Saint" paintings can be found all over the United States in churches, monasteries, and private collections.

Recent appraisals of his "Saint" paintings determined the works to be of "impeccable" quality.  His latest works are an enthralling symbiosis of contrasting styles that evoke the artist's continued evolution in the world of art.
