Research

research overview

  • Kevin Hoth is a photographer whose work focuses on three distinct areas: the manner in which multiple spaces can be formed into a singular frame, how emptiness can be visualized and depticted, and how meaning is ascribed in photographic representations. Kevin’s work has been shown in over eighty exhibitions nationally and internationally including most recently The Houston Center for Photography, The Center For Fine Art Photography (Fort Collins, CO), The Colorado Photographic Arts Center (Denver, CO), and online in Humble Arts Foundation New York’s Year In Reverse. Fraction magazine also recently featured his portfolio Everywhere And All At Once in Issue 105. This series will be featured this March in a group show at Walker Fine Art in Denver, Colorado.
