KAI
BIO
Kai is a self-taught artist who started creating art in October 2021. He paints monsters in a monochrome world. His monsters, however, have friendly and playful features painted in black and white. Kai aims for the number of expressive and unique monsters to proliferate.
KAI purposefully hides their personal profile in the public realm so that they are known solely for their identity as an artist. As such, their viewers will not be distracted by any associated text or premise when they approach their works. They refuse to have their works hijacked by over-interpretation or over-flooding texts. It asks the viewer questions about existence or non-existence. KAI sees this as a performance. Who in the world is creating that "world". Or perhaps there is no such thing as a world.
