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.
The work is the result of a live guitar improvisation where Krag wore a special suit to paint the instrument while playing it. The body of the guitar got splashes of paint by the movement of the fingers, the neck was filled with paint to mark the bends on the strings. Melo Magenta follows the tradition of musicians such Jimi Hendrix who painted his instrument himself using nail polish, or Keith Richards who decorated his guitar using paint pens, although they did not do this during a performance. This experience integrates Krag’s passion for music and art.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

- Untitled #8. From the series "There is an ocean in my glass" Abstract photographLocated in Miami Beach, FLUntitled #8. 2020 by Ying Chen From the series "There is an Ocean in my glass" Archival pigment print Image size: 80 in. H x 60 in. W Edition of 5 + 1AP Unframed 2020 There Is An Ocean In My Glass I have a reoccurring dream: scenery consisting of cloud filled Sky, fields of grass, and a body of water. In this foggy but colorful dream, the sky is cloudy, yet everything is brightly lit. there is a thick fog blurring my vision I cannot discern whether it is imagined or familiar scenes. I wanted to capture in photos how small flower cuttings can inspire/trigger those dreamt memories of landscapes. By composing nature figures into a photo, I wanted to represent how flower cutting can channel those dreamscapes in a photo. Stitch-like lines were added to make a person question if what they are seeing is paper cutting collage, hoping to replicate a dream-like feel by making viewers question the photos. _____________ Ying Chen was born in Tokyo, Japan, to Chinese parents living in Japan.
