 The artist’s colour palette gives prominence to muted tones with occasional bright colourful accents such as the red in his poppy field paintings and the indistinct light-sources featured in many of his paintings.Some of the major themes present through Kevin Gray’s work include drug production, social alienation and the destruction of nature.The poppy field paintings, while at first glance seem to be innocent depictions of flower meadows, actually highlight underlying themes of danger and threat through the cut poppy seed pods, key to the production of opium and heroin.
