Welcome to the macabre world of
Kevin T. Gerrone.
Kevin
grew up in a small suburb of
Cleveland, Ohio. It was a town that
lacked in activities, leaving most
people looking for other ways to
amuse themselves.
At
an early age he became obsessed with
drawing monsters, each time making
them more frightening than the last.
He was a fan of horror movies and
read everything he could find about
topics like Bigfoot, UFOs, and other
mythological folklore. After high
school, Kevin attended the Cleveland
Institute of Art and in 1998
received his Bachelor of Fine Art
degree.
During this time he began creating
paintings that resembled old time
sideshow banners, a style that he
has refined over the years to make
his own. A combination of his
childhood love for the strange, and
his new found love of the sideshow,
resulted in what can only be
described as an obsession. He
started researching, collecting, and
creating freakish objects while also
refining his own style of banner
painting.
Kevin has now decided that it is
time to open the doors to Gerrone
Studios and let the world experience
and even own an original piece of
his macabre art. We hope you enjoy
and check back often for new
additions to the galleries.
