Kevin Poorman

Kevin Poorman is a Virginia- and Florida-based artist whose work merges geometric abstraction, constructed landscapes, and cognitive mapping into a unified architectonic visual language. His paintings balance bold geometry with engineered structure, using controlled, vibrant‑yet‑muted color fields and crisp linework to create contemporary visual anchors for residential, hospitality, and commercial interiors. Poorman’s structural approach is shaped by a non‑traditional background: a 40‑year career in forensic investigation with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, supported by degrees from Indiana University and The George Washington University. His investigative work required deep systems thinking — interpreting structure, pattern, and spatial relationships with clarity — a perspective that now informs the architectonic logic of his studio practice. He develops series‑based compositions that function as both conceptual systems and design‑forward artworks. Working primarily in acrylic, Poorman builds cohesive bodies of work ranging from geometric‑organic abstractions to architectonic landscapes. His paintings are held in institutional and private collections, including the U.S. Air Force Art Collection. He maintains active studios in Virginia and Florida and focuses on art licensing and designer collaboration.
