Losing Control—The Balance of Opposites

About the event

Billy Kearins sits down with Michael Ross, Exhibitions & Education Director, to discuss his latest body of work, “Losing Control.” The series is built on one control image: an orange circle hovering right of a blue square. Chosen for its simple balance of opposites—square/circle, cool/warm, static/moving—each work keeps color and relative orientation consistent while exploring new media.

About the artist

Billy Kearins is a Key West–based visual artist, designer and live music producer. Self-taught and experimental in nature, his work spans painting, printmaking, design and writing, drawing inspiration from bold color, timeless design and life along the coast. In 2012, he founded Coast Projects, a Key West artist collective and apparel brand, where he continues to serve as creative director.
