OH: Local Artists Paint CVG

Local artists, and father and son duo, Kevin T. and Jack Kelly are performing live art in Concourse B at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). Two postmodern pop murals will be complete Dec. 21, for all CVG travelers to enjoy thanks to a partnership between CVG and BLDG. The murals represent love and harmony, and are aviation themed.

Kevin T. Kelly was born in 1960, graduated from Art Academy of Cincinnati and moved to New York City in 1988, where he worked as a studio assistant for Pop Artist Tom Wesselmann for six years. Jack Kelly graduated from Columbus College of Art and Design, lives in Cincinnati and is a freelance commercial artist. Full bios below.

“This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase true performance artists and their pop art to our passengers,” said Candace McGraw, chief executive officer, CVG. “We’re excited for this partnership and to see the end result that will adorn our Customs area in Concourse B to welcome guests to the region.”

Both live-paint session artists are working in conjunction with BLDG, a creative firm based in Covington, Kentucky.
