About the Item

Mixed media David Paul Kay is an American contemporary artist born in 1982 who lives and works in New York City, USA. With a focus on vibrant lines and intricate compositions, Kay creates captivating narratives on blank surfaces. His obsession with detail, versatility of scale, and perspective have led him to create hundreds of drawings, paintings, murals, and sculptures. Originally from the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, Kay moved to the United States in 2008. As a self-taught artist, he has always experimented with different techniques, but his career took off when he arrived in New York City in 2009 and developed his signature monochromatic style. Kay has explored various thematic series in his work. His "Matter" series examines the fabric of the universe, while "Psychoanalysis" uses thought experiments as a unique form of storytelling. "Icons" pays homage to universally recognized figures, and "Underdogs" delves into emotional and cerebral states. The artist has also conceptualized series such as "Seven x Seven," which explores the theory of segmenting life into transformations every seven years, and "The Circle of Time," a collection of twelve interconnected pieces that form a clockwork loop centered around the number 12, examining our understanding and relationship with time. Kay's work has been exhibited and collected in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. He has participated in artist residencies in Los Angeles, London, globally in Spain and Greece. Additionally, he has collaborated with major brands like Montblanc, PayPal, Cadillac, and Equinox on global campaigns and private commissions. His work has been featured in prestigious publications including Forbes, Architectural Digest, Vogue Italia, and Wallpaper. As a co-founder of "theark," an artist residency program in Nairobi, Kenya, Kay is actively involved in bringing together African and Non-African members of the creative community. His artwork has even been auctioned live at Christie's London, further solidifying his impact on the global art scene.

  • Contemporary Installation Sculpture, Woven and Crocheted Videotape with Cotton
    By John Garrett
    Located in St. Louis, MO
    John Garrett was raised in southern New Mexico by parents who were both educators. They instilled in him an appreciation for the handmade with their collections of Native American arts and crafts. He moved to Claremont, California, to attend college at Claremont Men’s College (now Claremont McKenna College.) Following his desire to make things by hand, he enrolled in a weaving class taught by Marion Stewart at Scripps College in 1970. His intrigue with the tools, systems and materials involved in weaving and other textile constructions led him to take other courses with Neda Al-Hilali a year later, also at Scripps. He did graduate work at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he studied with Bernard Kester and Vasa. Garrett has exhibited throughout the United States for over thirty years in hundreds of exhibitions, as well as in Europe, Africa and Asia. Garrett has worked simultaneously with two and three-dimensional formats to create his textile forms with a variety of materials. Visually unpredictable, his work may be woven, wrapped, plaited, riveted, painted, rusted, twined, nailed, stitched or tied. With an expansive repertoire of materials, each work of art is meticulously crafted, while achieving an energetic complexity; he moves gracefully from constructing wall pieces to baskets, breathing new life into discarded objects. Currently a full time studio artist, he teaches workshops on creativity and experimental basketry at schools nationwide. He was awarded a National Endowment for the Arts fellowships in 1983 and 1995 as well as elected a Fellow of the American Craft Council in 2010.

  • Dump Truck
    By Carly Glovinski
    Located in Denver, CO
    Rooted in observation and fueled by a curiosity about the behavior of objects and handicraft processes, Carly Glovinski makes paintings, sculpture and works on paper that often teeter between representation and abstraction. Letting craft techniques like weaving inform her mark making, her work mimics everyday objects and highlights geometric pattern and structure found in textiles, while exploring the resourceful attitudes associated with domestic craft and rural communities that prioritize placemaking in concert with nature. She received her BFA from Boston University in 2003 and is represented by Morgan Lehman Gallery...
