Chico Open Studios 2026 | Kevin Trivedi at ArtistScape

Expressive painting of a blue electric guitar and a yellow-orange acoustic guitar resting inside a colorful interior, surrounded by gestural green, blue, yellow, orange, and violet brushstrokes. The painting belongs to Trivedi’s Catalyst series, an evolving body of work examining music, vibration, time, energy, and transcendence through expressive and semi-abstract imagery. Loosely articulated architecture and layered brushwork allow the scene to move between observation and sensation, suggesting the way music can alter perception and transform an ordinary environment into an emotional or psychological space.
Color Harmonies explores the relationship between music, color, rhythm, and atmosphere through an expressive interior scene featuring electric and acoustic guitars. Layers of saturated color, gestural brushwork, and shifting spatial relationships transform the instruments and surrounding environment into a visual arrangement of rhythm and tonal contrast.

One More Weekend! Chico Open Studios 2026 at ArtistScape

October 17–18, 2026 | 10 AM–5 PM

There’s still one more weekend to experience Chico Open Studios 2026, and you’re invited to visit ArtistScape Fine Art & Creative Services for a behind-the-scenes look at the creative world of Chico artist Kevin Trivedi.

Open Studios offers a unique opportunity to experience original artwork in the environment where it is created, discover the inspiration behind each painting, and connect directly with the artist.

Two Collections, Two Artistic Journeys

This year’s Open Studios features two distinctive bodies of work that explore transformation, emotion, and the expressive possibilities of painting.

"Looking Inward," a 30"x40" painting by Kevin Trivedi, features Chloe Juniper as the model, symbolizing their creative collaboration. The artwork blends Trivedi’s signature landscapes with Juniper’s graceful presence, reflecting their artistic synergy and deep connection. This piece marks a significant evolution in Trivedi’s work, highlighting the influence of friendship and collaboration on artistic expression.
Looking Inward

Synthesis: States of Becoming is a collection of twelve large-scale figurative paintings exploring identity, transformation, and our relationship with the world around us. Through expressive color, symbolism, and visual storytelling, the series invites viewers to consider the many dimensions of the human experience.

Expressive acrylic painting of guitars, brass instruments, percussion, and a violin arranged together against a rich green and blue background, painted in vivid orange, red, yellow, and blue tones with loose, energetic brushwork.
Musical Inertia is an 8 × 10 inch acrylic painting on paper from Kevin Trivedi’s Catalyst series. A gathering of guitars, brass, strings, and percussion rests in a moment of suspended energy, suggesting the tension between stillness and the possibility of sound. Expressive brushwork, layered color, and overlapping forms create a rhythmic composition charged with movement and anticipation.

Catalyst, Kevin’s newest evolving series, explores the relationship between music, movement, energy, and artistic expression. Featuring vibrant colors, dynamic brushwork, and increasingly abstract compositions, these paintings capture the rhythms and emotional resonance of the creative process.

Together, these collections offer visitors a glimpse into an artistic practice that continues to evolve through experimentation, observation, and discovery.

Experience Art Where It Happens

Visiting an artist’s studio offers something special beyond a traditional gallery experience. It’s an opportunity to see the creative environment, learn about artistic techniques, ask questions, and discover the stories behind the artwork.

Whether you’re a longtime supporter of local art, an aspiring artist, a collector, or simply curious, you’re warmly invited to stop by.
