Kevin Appel (born 1967) is an American artist based in Los Angeles. ==Life and work== Kevin Appel was born in Los Angeles. He received his BFA from Parsons School of Design (), New York in 1990 and his MFA from the University of California () in 1995. He is a Professor and Associate Chair of Graduate Studies at the University of California Irvine. Appel's artwork occupies spaces within and between the practices of abstract painting and architecture; following a trajectory describing the slow and messy dissolution of the structural integrity of the house and home and the psychological effects of such failures. Appel's painted surfaces vacillate between approximations of architectural surfaces and pure paint forming a complex matrix of abstract form. His current paintings are large abstractions painted on large scale printed photographs of Appel's own taking. His solo exhibitions include Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects, Culver City (2012), ACME. Gallery, Los Angeles (2009), Two Rooms Gallery, Auckland (2008), Wilkinson Gallery, London (2006); Angles Gallery, Santa Monica (2006, 2002, 1999, 1998); Museo Rufino Tamayo, Mexico City (2003); Marianne Boesky Gallery, New York (2001); and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (1999).
