KX2 "VECTOR | vector"
Causey Contemporary
This event has ended.
Causey Contemporary presents a debut exhibition to the gallery with VECTOR | vector by KX2. Sisters Ruth Avra and Dana Lynn Kleinman aka KX2 bring us the latest evolution of their work in metal and painting in VECTOR | vector.
Three-dimensional metal constructions jut off the wall towards the viewer in unexpected ways, as hyper pigmented painting demands attention. As soon as the initial impact subsides, the viewer is mesmerized by the meticulous attention to detail in the hand sanding of the metal and the textural paintings on canvas. The work is striking from a distance, yet enveloping from up close. The underlying mathematical complexities of the work are apparent, but these notions can also apply to other areas of life. The physicality of each work makes the viewer aware of their own personal space, while the dualities in each piece are testaments to the familial bond of their creators. Also, as a new addition to their work KX2 will introduce small-scale sterling silver models of each work coined as "minis".
KX2 is the collaboration between sisters Ruth Avra and Dana Lynn Kleinman working in metal and painting.
