Photography helps Kevin Krag to freeze in time he's one of a kind sculptures capturing the spiritual dimension, the vulnerability, and mortality of his ephemeral pieces. Using ethically sourced archival photography cotton paper integrating another organic and sensual piece to the puzzle, standing the test of time and having the least possible adverse impact on the environment. Assembled guitars bodies & necks from rescued guitars (built by the artist) Creating the Ícara I was like an initiation. the work contains about 800 feathers and it has a very rock and roll feel as it reminds us of Lenny Kravitz’s love for feathers and boas. It also explores a rite of passage: leaving Buenos Aires, its music, its flavors and ultimately a remembrance, an homage to a dear Argentine singer-songwriter Gustavo Cerati, whose song “Tu cicatriz en mí” brings him back to Buenos Aires. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin Krag grew up surrounded by music, having a father in the music business and an uncle musician. From very young age, he displayed a strong predilection for music, and soon became a passionate guitar player and an avid collector of the instrument. In 2012, he moved to Miami, where he developed a practice that incorporates the activities of an artist, a musician, a fetishist, and a scientist. Working across different media, his productions incorporate nature in a controlled and ritualistic manner, often focusing on life and death, sound and silence, feminine and masculine. For Krag, the guitar is a tool to create an encounter with nature, to spark a dialogue about beauty, to reveal the rapture of a silent music score. Pushing physical limits with the works —by adhering paint or plants or submerging guitars underwater — is part of a personal process that rushes spiritual and emotional limits to discover his sense of self. Born in 1984, Kevin Krag graduated in Business Administration in his native city Buenos Aires, Argentina. He is based in Miami, where he has worked extensively and developed his identity as artist and musician.
