KAVIN BUCK “Lost Highways: Watercolors” is a documentation of paintings by artist Kavin Buck during the winter of 2023-24. The catalog was published in conjunction with Buck’s solo exhibition “Far Away Places | Runaway Trains” at the Elizabeth Leach Gallery in Portland, Oregon in the summer of 2024. The 60-page book includes over 40 color images representing a selection of Buck’s “Lost Highways” watercolors created in the Fall of 2023 through the Spring of 2024 with an introduction by the artist. The paintings of both traditional and abstracted landscapes are in the West Coast style of wet-into-wet watercolor and depict minimal yet complicated vistas with a balance of time-worn histories of romanticism, realism, and abstraction. The introduction by Kavin Buck tells why at this stage of his career he came to create this series of intimate artworks, while also weaving personal recollections of his beginning as an artist.

Landscape painting is as dynamic today as it has ever been and for many contemporary painters, the subject matter is a fundamental lens into how they see our place in the world.
