La Luz de Jesus Presents Kalynn Cambell

Kalynn Campbell

"Ouija Demons & Candyland Debris"

August 7 - 30, 1998

Born five minutes after New Year's Day in Jupiter, Florida, Kalynn Campbell grew up a stone's throw away from the headquarters of the National Enquirer. At 13, he was given a stack of underground comics and saw a Dwayne Hanson exhibition, experiences that profoundly changed his life. He pursued a career in art, and found himself airbrushing motorcycle tanks for the Outlaw Motorcycle Club before moving to San Francisco in 1981 to attend the Academy of Art College. In 1989, Campbell moved to Los Angeles and settled into the tasks of painting and drawing. Since then, he has worked on hundreds of illustration projects for everyone from Tom Petty, to biker soundtrack guru Davie Allan, to GQ Magazine, and has seen his "game" paintings included in two museum exhibitions, including the pivotal Kustom Kulture Show. Campbell's collectors include such notables as Nicolas Cage and the NBC Censor's Office. He recently finished illustrating the Epitaph Records website, and a book of his game paintings is in the works. This is his first solo show at La Luz de Jesus Gallery.
