Cockpit USA Culture Fix: Kevin Francis Gray
At Cockpit USA we appreciate history in all its many forms. Whether an antique flight jacket from which we can draw inspiration for a new piece of outerwear, an American Airpower Museum aircraft that represents the bravery of all those who have served in the name of freedom, an exhibition detailing life during WWII or even simply a dogeared photo from yesteryear – we want to know as staunch history fans! Housed at Haunch of Venison in New York City, London based artist Kevin Francis Gray is currently exhibiting his exquisitely crafted porcelain, bronze and marble sculptures. Inspired and influenced by historical classic form, his works juxtapose all that was with all that is with his subjects focused on popular culture and urban life. Reminiscent of grand Greek statues, Gray shines a light on a form that was once prevalent and still remains completely captivating.
