I have always been interested in painting vehicles and scenes that have defined the evolution of the American landscape.<br /><br />I commemorate commercial vehicles inundated with graffiti and rust, working vehicles, and well-traveled recreational vehicles. I find that there is so much character in old delivery trucks and vans — especially when covered with graffiti — and in the old RVs parked off a main road. Removing them from their everyday context gives them portrait-like importance. I paint with devoted attention to every imperfection and sign of age.<br /><br />Painting and drawing these objects gives me a chance to document a time and place, and to make still a part of the ever-changing environment.</blockquote>You can <a href="http://www.whitewallssf.com/artists/kevin-cyr/">purchase some of these here. </a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.kevincyr.net/">Kevin Cyr</a><br />Brooklyn, New York<br />talk / + 1 617 953 5734<br />type / <a href="mailto:kevin@kevincyr.net">kevin@kevincyr.net</a>
