Kevin Perrault is a Los Angeles–born sculptor whose work sits at the intersection of permanence and play, balancing monumentality with quiet intimacy. Working primarily with copper and stone, he creates figurative sculptures that feel both timeless and contemporary—characters suspended in moments of calm, connection, and gentle motion. His figures perch, balance, and breathe atop carefully selected stones, their refined copper forms offset by the raw weight and texture of natural materials. Walnut bases further ground each piece, adding warmth and a sense of human scale.
Perrault’s sculptural language draws from archetype rather than narrative, evoking scenes that feel universally familiar without prescribing a single story. Surfers frozen mid-flow, figures standing in quiet companionship, and solitary characters at rest invite viewers to project their own experiences into the work. Scale plays a central role: small gestures carry outsized emotional weight, and stillness becomes as powerful as movement. His sculptures resonate with collectors drawn to contemporary figurative sculpture that values craftsmanship, restraint, and emotional clarity—echoing traditions seen in artists who merge modern material sensibilities with classical human presence.
His path to sculpture was unconventional. After studying design at UCLA in 2001 and competing at the highest level of collegiate athletics as part of a national championship soccer team, Perrault spent more than two decades working in a family business, building a life rooted in responsibility far outside the art world. When he returned to sculpture, he did so with a renewed sense of purpose—bringing discipline, patience, and lived experience into the studio. That depth of life experience is felt in the quiet confidence of his work and in the care with which each piece is made.
Every sculpture is unique. Stones are selected for their individual character, copper is shaped with painstaking attention, and each figure is refined until it carries a sense of quiet presence rather than spectacle. His work does not seek to dominate a space, but to anchor it—inviting pause, reflection, and connection.
Perrault’s work has quickly gained recognition, with a growing exhibition history that includes a 2025 solo exhibition Gentle Giants at DACHA in Manhattan Beach, as well as group exhibitions at Oceanside Museum of Art, the California Surf Museum, TAG Gallery, and Art Week Miami. His sculptures have been featured in Visual Art Journal, Suboart Magazine, and 100 Emerging Artworks – 2025 Edition, and are held in private collections in the United States and England.
Across his practice, Kevin Perrault creates sculptures that honor shared humanity—works that feel enduring yet tender, grounded yet aspirational. They invite viewers to slow down, recognize themselves in the familiar, and find meaning in small, resonant moments.
