From architect to abstract artist, Kevin Mills has always had a visionary sense of the aesthetic and has held influence in the creative community. In January and February, the Corner Gallery in the Lakewood Cultural Center is thrilled to present Mills’ most recent body of artwork. The Corner Gallery is a community gallery space that hosts emerging artists, community organizations, cultural partners and public activities in pursuit of the Cultural Center’s mission to provide free arts and culture access to the entire Lakewood community.
In the early 1980s, when architects across the country started designing family entertainment bowling centers that would eventually change the image of the entire industry, one stood out as an industry pioneer and leader. Kevin P. Mills and the company he founded, Architectural Concepts, provided architectural services to more centers than most other firms combined during his award-winning career.
In January 2012, Kevin had a life-changing skiing accident that fractured his spine and caused a traumatic brain injury. Over the following months, Kevin had to learn to walk and talk again. This event prompted a sooner-than-expected retirement from architecture, but he found his new passion and creative drive in abstract acrylic painting.
Though Mills had never painted before his accident, he found that his background in architecture and design inspired the shapes, colors and structures of his new artworks. He loves to paint daily, working his way through his many commissions. Mills strives to generate an emotive response within the viewer using color, texture and compositions with movement.
Join us for a free exhibition reception on Jan. 17.
