Corin Kennington

Corin Kennington is an artist and designer, best known for his bold, hand-painted murals.
With a background in sign-painting, he references letterforms throughout his artwork, exploring the abstraction and detailing of type found in his everyday surroundings.
His studio work consists of detailed pieces that play with light and texture. These artworks explore type as shapes and forms as opposed to legible and functional letters or words.
Founder of Cover All, a team specialising in hand painting lettering, he has worked on large-scale mural commissions for clients such as Adidas, Camden Brewery and London Zoo.
Corin’s artworks are available as reverse painted glass, painted paper studies, and limited edition screen prints.
