About the Item

KX2 is a collaboration combining the strengths of artists and sisters Ruth Avra and Dana Kleinman who create mathematically inspired sculpture merging metal and painting. From a distance the work is bold and geometric, yet up close the viewer is engaged by textural hand-sanded metal and multi-layered paintings. By exploring geometry, symmetry and connection, their work aims to create a moment of pause, inviting the viewer to escape the stresses of the day and find a space to achieve balance. In their most recent work, themes related to environmental issues are presented with the hope to raise an awareness of the fragility of our natural ecosystems. Since establishing their artistic collaboration in 2007, KX2’s work has been featured in notable galleries and museums around the world. Importantly, the work was leveraged to the international art scene with an invitation to represent the United States at the 2008 Beijing Biennale at the National Art Museum of China. Their work can be found in numerous private, corporate and public art collections throughout North America. Avra and Kleinman currently reside with their individual families in Florida. The artists say of their work… Creative influence is fostered in human experience. As artists inspired by the natural world, we are accustomed to reinterpreting organic patterns and colors within formal contemporary sculpture. Traditionally in our work, repurposed metals are joined with recycled canvas and paint to create bold abstract sculptures where waterways, shorelines and colors of the Eastern seaboard take center stage. More recently, we are creating work as a response to environmental stressors such as water rise, toxic pollution and over consumption which have pushed the planet to an unprecedented state of fragility. In each work, there is an emphasis on material and form that while aesthetically pleasing, we hope also conveys a message of human responsibility toward the environment. We hope our work creates a moment of pause, reflection and ultimately an awareness of relationship with each other and the planet.

"Echoes of Terrain" Abstract Sculpture 62" x 10" x 10" in by Shawn Kolodny

Located in Culver City, CA

"Echoes of Terrain" Abstract Sculpture 62" x 10" x 10" in by Shawn Kolodny Medium: Steel & Automotive Paint Shawn Kolodny is an artist based in Miami, FL. For the past 15 years, he has created large scale installations for cultural institutions and private residences around the world. Kolodny’s work explores the beauty and geometric synergies of the natural world, and our relationship to our innermost thoughts. His signature, playful works made of reflective steel spheres capture the symmetry, volume and balance present in both nature and design. These spheres are placed together to create new forms that reflect the vibrant and dynamic nature of the world around us, and the impact of our ever-changing perspective. Kolodny’s site-specific and shapeshifting installations construct a kinetic and immersive environment for viewers, creating space for moments of mindfulness and self-reflection within their experience. Transcending the traditional boundaries of art, the artist creates new worlds with each installation, that are at once both fantastical and organic. His practice seeks to encourage viewers to engage with the world around them in new, more meaningful and imaginative ways, inspiring a childlike wonder. Kolodny’s innovative style has garnered international recognition, and led to collaborations with brands including ​ House of Creed, Missoni, Snow Lodge at the St Regis Aspen, Paris Hilton, Four Seasons, BMF, and Pharell's Something In The Water Festival. He is represented by William Morris Endeavor.

Sculpture; 'Portal'

By Kelly Bugden + Van Wifvat

Located in New York, NY

The artistic collaboration of Kelly Bugden + Van Wifvat has produced a thought-provoking body of sculptures, paintings, and constructions. Nature, childhood memories, and everyday archetypes take shape in unexpected combinations of materials. The works emerged as the tactile and visual senses channeled the ritualistic power and materiality of selected artifacts. The resulting objects exist in a space between what they were originally and what they could become. A wheel, for example, is distorted as if seen through a prism. Their collaboration grew out of years of shaping materials into one-of-a-kind objects. Intuitively, the process of creating with their hands took an inward turn. Prism is a travelogue through memories and dreams, yielding abstract forms that capture moments of transformation. Van Wifvat grew up with eight siblings and studied sculpture and environmental design in Minneapolis at MCAD. In 1979, he opened a storefront art gallery to promote the work of local artists. The space featured printed materials—art books, periodicals, fanzines, and postcard’s. Wifvat moved to New York in 1983 to study at the Fashion Institute of Technology and Parsons. In 1987, he co-founded Van Gregory & Norton design studio, specializing in convex mirrors and curtain hardware...
