Kevin Devonport is an Award-winning UK emerging artist, currently based at Assembly House studios in Leeds. It could be said that he has had a somewhat unorthodox entry into the Artworld as he originally learnt to paint whilst serving a prison sentence for drug offences. Art has therefore had a significant impact on Kevin’s life by allowing him to re-invent himself as an Artist. Despite not having any formal artistic qualifications, he does hold a First-Class Honours BSc in Sociology that does have an influence on much of his work. In the short time he has become an Artist he has become increasingly recognised. He won a national Koestler award for painting at London’s South Bank and has featured in a number of prominent exhibitions. Alongside having a celebrity client, his work has now been featured in a number of publications.
