Kevin Driscoll (b.1987) is an artist originally from Boston, Massachusetts, who currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

Driscoll’s practice focuses on the intersection of construction techniques, architectural concepts, and contemporary societal commentary. His work often seeks to challenge perceptions of functionality and value within our built environment through the use of common materials and familiar forms. The works often appear purpose-built but are deliberately over-engineered, embodying a sense of absurdity in their practical inefficiency.

Rooted in his background in architecture and construction, his works often contain objects and surfaces reminiscent of another material - becoming a new object, not belonging to the original source anymore. Though familiar, they become relics our time, as if preserved and presented by a society in the distant future seeking to understand our culture.

By using common materials familiar to all viewers, Driscoll questions the morals of art and the importance placed on seemingly useless objects compared to their functional counterparts often seen throughout our built world. Through this exploration, he seeks to highlight various details that are both essential, absurd, and even humorous in our built environment.
