Kevin exhibited at the Mojo Art Gallery, Dubai in the As It Is series of exhibitions. Statements of Intent, a Generation Provoked is the third instalment of a four part multi-faceted exhibition series titled As It Is! It is the first ever group exhibition presenting contemporary African art in the Middle East. Over four months As It Is showcases over 21 leading and emerging artists who articulate a progressively evolutionary break from European stereotypes about 'contemporary African Art.' The concepts for the exhibition is an artist-led ideology. It is about their narratives, their experiences of being Black artists expressing their identity.
Statements of Intent, a Generation Provoked as an  exhibition, focused on a generation of contemporary artists working within Africa and in the Diaspora, at the cusp of their creative careers carving out a distinct place for their artistic  ideologies and gaining international recognition as a result.
Kevin has recently exhibited at The Whitworth Art Gallery as part of the award-winning* 'Who Cares?' Project Exhibition. Four pieces of Kevin's work are shown alongside paintings by Lucien Freud, Francis Bacon, Frank Auerbach, Gilbert and George, Walter Sickert, David Bomberg, L.S.Lowry and Camille Pissarro.
