Painting

Collection of paintings from 2021 --- 2023 

Through the painting process, I think of the sacred world. What emerges in the end are love letters to  an incarnation here on Earth. Also I have beautiful friends and sometimes I do portraits of them. 


Sketchbooks

Pages from my
2021 --- 2023 sketchbooks.

[Entry from 2023 sketchbook]
We were entering the year of the rabbit, and the symbolism of its purity, vulnerability and perserverance would move me towards an almost obsession. The parallels that we all felt towards the rabbit...
awaiting the foxes bite of death that could strike at any moment. 

Many of these drawings were drawn in the Grand River chemo suite alongside my dearest pa, in my bedroom late at night, and amongst my new love over beers and chess around town.  





Arthur Kavanagh is a multimedia artist creating from the house he’s grown up in.

His work focuses on the playful nature of being and dying here on Earth.
