Kevin Champeny’98, who studied studio art at Beloit, is a New York-based artist and sculptor who creates small, intricate hand-cast works of art that he uses as components in the design of his large-scale mosaics.
Champeny’s latest mosaic is a tribute piece to Jerry Garcia, the late lead guitar player, vocalist, and arguably the soul of The Grateful Dead. “Touch of Grey” is made from 25,000 sculpted and hand-cast urethane pieces of imagery from the life of Garcia and the band.
