“Kevin Caron is a renowned artist whose sculptures have left an indelible mark on the art world. … Caron’s use of lines and edges is a common motif throughout his work…. From neon colors emanating from his 3-D printer to raw slabs of steel fused together from his welder, Kevin Caron invokes a breakdown of structure to their basic forms. Ranging from distortions to non-objective abstractions, the sculptures tend to convey spirals and subtle curves drawing the eye vertically. These minimalistic creations offer an insight into the importance of placement of color and surface on three dimensional surfaces. Like contemporary monuments, the works communicate a sense of form almost resembling crystalized castles and evocative cages. With a commendable, strong portfolio and a loyal following, Kevin Caron connects the audience with exterior textural elements and color design followed by a study in structure with spirited towering exoskeletons.”
“… colorful, whimsical shapes that … look like plants, sea creatures, optical illusions, pillars for palaces built on the tops of clouds.”
“… Emily Dieckman, Tucson Weekly, Tucson, Arizona
“I appreciate [the 360 degree nature of] your pieces and the whole fun of 3D free forms. You get a different feel for it when you approach in different directions or display [it] at a different angle. Like a choose your own adventure!”
“[Caron’s] work is vibrant and his manipulation of steel is amazing. His pieces take on a life of their own.”
“Long at the cutting edge of large scale 3D printing, Kevin’s sculpture is an important touchstone at the intersection of non-objective abstraction and emerging technologies. He continues to produce works that are improvisational, full of light, and visual surprise — even while embracing the rigor and technical know-how required of any committed ‘maker.’ His body of work — bridging 3D printed work, free-standing mixed media sculptures, site-specific and sound projects — is an important stop on any tour of American sculpture.”
“I am so thrilled with all the brilliance you are showing as you grow in your artwork. It’s absolutely amazing and beautiful. I’m so proud of the guy I met so long ago as he began with a tree all hand done. Now look at what he’s imagining.”
“The sculpture students were in awe [of] your work … your sculptures are beautiful, well designed, and the finishes are suited to each specific sculpture.”
“The sinuous and towering resin sculptures of Kevin Caron provide a pleasing counterpoint to the paintings and mixed media works.”
“We loved it all – so creative! We truly enjoyed everything and keep discussing our favorite pieces!”
“Your work is incredible! I love how you make a very tough material and mold it like clay.”
Marc Doyon

“Caron’s love for sensual shapes helps him mold his beautiful metal sculptures.”

“Your videos are a godsend. Your means of delivery, concise and well-thought-out manner of speaking is so inspirational and easily retainable that I am comfortable trying anything at this point. Any time I have a question for welding, I check if you have a video on it.”

“G’Day from Down Under. I’d just like to say thank you for the work you do on your Web site and YouTube. It is invaluable for all of us. You are an absolute legend and an inspiration for all metal fabricators and artist around the globe!”

“I absolutely LOVE your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to post those. I am completely sure you have helped hundreds, if not more. I love your humor, perfect common sense, and excellent range of topics. I wish I was just a BIT as talented as you! And your lovely assistant makes me laugh!”

“Your videos are great. I especially like that you share your how to approach to your own discovery process. You take art and the process seriously but do not take yourself too seriously. Great website!! Great art!”

“Beautiful work, Kevin. If you could pare down an Escher painting to an elegant nugget, [Knot Me] would be it. Also I’m a sucker for any work that tempts my mind to shift between negative and positive area. Kudos, my friend!”

“I found your videos while doing research on welding. I am an artist working in painted media but also working on car and motorcycle projects. I always wanted to learn how to weld in order to make the parts needed to complete my projects. Your approach to welding and fabrication spoke to me as a creative person. You have a huge hands-on and learned technical skill in welding, but your approach is so practical and intuitive. You take the technical and apply the creative spirit. You share your knowledge and passion in a way that inspires me to now want to get out and learn some new skills. The videos are very practical and helpful, from setting up a shop, learning about tools and equipment to the instructional, how to stuff. Thanks so much. Keep up the great work.”

Your pieces are very beautiful and full of life. I especially liked the yellow cheese sculpture.”

“Kevin is a great craftsman, and I think he understands that sculpture is about rhythm and movement. … He has an intellectual engagement, a sense of making the sculpture work, rather than just welding things together. He’s using the principles of design that have been time-honored through art history.”

“What a wonderful [online display] you have created so we will all be able to share in the project as it is created. I also want to compliment you on your presentation to the Avondale Arts Committee last week. Your caring and compassion for the work that you are doing shines through when you are talking about it. We are fortunate to be working with you on this project.
“Your work is so creative. From the first piece I saw (at Rancho Santa Fe School) I have been a big fan. It will make us all proud that we will have one of your sculptures in the center of “Old Avondale”. I am hoping that we will be able to continue to work with you for years to come and that even future Art Committees will recognize the aesthetics of your work.”

” 
I was drawn to [Street Urchin] first as a sculpture because I found it visually compelling but its added musical feature making this piece amusing to pluck is particularly appealing. It’s better than a stress ball! I enjoy interacting with it from time to time on my desk in the gallery. So often we view pieces in museums and galleries which we want to touch but are prohibited. I find the “please touch” museums for children to be wonderfully stimulating but as adults we haven’t lost the urge to explore. Kevin’s work allows us to explore like a child in an adult venue – how great is that!”

“In creating Vortex for our limited space, Kevin came up with an amazing design. I’m getting such a kick out of looking at it from my morning coffee spot in the kitchen. It makes me smile and sets the tone for the rest of the day. With or without the water running, we just love it! I’m looking forward to enjoying it even more from the great outdoors when the weather begins to cooperate.”

“This has been such a fun process. The neighbors are quite intrigued, and we’ve had so many complements on [Ahwatukee Falls]. It’s great to have such a unique piece right there in the front as you walk up to the house.”

“Kevin’s devotion to good craftsmanship combined with his amazing imagination has added immeasurably to the sensory experience of our students and other visitors. Regardless of their disabilities, students invariably ring [Full Gallop] when they come and leave the facility, providing them with a physical experience that they tailor to their own pleasures, whether it’s a resounding whack or a varied series of sounds. Somehow Kevin tapped into something that none of us knew was there to be explored.
“While the bell was entirely his idea, we had wanted a rendition of a sword in the stone for many years. Kevin took the initiative to get the rock donated, purchase the sword, and engineer the piece’s creation. Much to our surprise and delight, it is often the mothers of students who take particular delight in pulling the sword free.
“Kevin’s contributions to Camelot go far beyond these two pieces, but they underscore his ability to assess needs and answer them in creative and inclusive ways.”

“Kevin did a fantastic job on Cruisin’. I presented him with a huge challenge as I wanted the door to do everything but walk the dogs. He listened and worked with me during the design process, figuring out ways to meet my unusual requests. He managed the technical challenges and designed a really fun door and hand railings that incorporates our love of bicycling! I was kept informed at all stages of the process and could even watch our door and railings being built on the Web site. The installation went smoothly and the door fit perfectly. We have had many positive comments on the door as no one has ever seen anything like it before!”

“Kevin’s giant, steel caterpillar, [Munch], is the first piece of art guests see when they enter our home. First they’re taken aback. ‘You’ve got a prehistoric-sized caterpillar up there on your arch!’ Then, they praise it for its grace, cleverness and originality. It’s definitely the show stopper in our home, despite the fact that it has lots of competition! Thanks, Kevin, for your virtuosity. Munch is just perfect for us!”

“[Flow] is so beautiful. It is amazing to have a real piece of rock instead of that ugly ‘fake’ rock that fountains are built out of these days.
I am so glad I discovered Kevin’s work online. What a wonderful piece of art. I am so proud of her.”
Anita Rockett

“
It’s still a wonder to me that Kevin was able to create something that addresses what I was looking for based on a brief conversation. It’s tactile, relaxing to listen to, and my sighted friends tell me it’s beautiful as well. It makes it that much more special because it was made for me.”

“Your work is an inspiration to me. I so enjoy your creativity and your skills and the way you have built the site with so many links and information and videos.

I think [the Bronco Brand Birch] is absolutely beautiful, and the best part is, it didn’t cost the city anything, not even a committee meeting. It’s our first piece of public art.”

“We absolutely love our fountain! It really completes the back yard, and even the inside of the house, since the sound carries into the house, which is in an ‘L’ around it. Of course, I’ve relocated my chair for optimum effect and viewing pleasure. As I mentioned at the beginning of our interest, the goal of the makeover of our yard was to open it up, and lift the eyes upward to the big, open sky from our smallish, California yard. Following Convolution‘s lines definitely completes that effect, from anywhere in the yard or house. A lesser sculpture would have fallen short. Thanks again for everything. We couldn’t be more happy with Convolution.”
Eric Bohm

“The first day the kids came back to school it was raining. The [Mighty Owl Oak] looked so beautiful…. Many children were standing around it, even in the rain, trying to find their leaves.
“Every time I go by the tree there are children, parents or teachers standing around it. It is wonderful to see the kids bring their parents into the school to see the tree and their leaf. Some classes have wanted their picture taken in front of it for the yearbook.”
Lisa Pavlet

“We saw [Dripping Springs] at the Fairmont in Scottsdale on our holiday, and it was love at first sight. We would love to have one in our garden…. Whether we can afford one or not, we think you are very talented and [the fountain] is truly a thing of beauty which we really enjoyed.”

“Kevin’s sculptures are quite striking. I love how he captures both geometric shapes and the fluidity and asymmetry of nature. Some of them made me smile due to their humour (e.g. Wild Swiss), others due to their sheer beauty (e.g. Three Suns), and I know some would capture me for hours if I saw them in their real setting (e.g. Orbits).”
