"What in the World" by DK 1995 Mixed-Media Painting

About the Item

A bold and colorful abstract artwork from DK with lots of texture and layering of paint on canvas. An interesting Brutalist painting from the mid-1990s, a cross between street art graffiti and the more formal aspects of neo-expressionism. The artist is at the top of his game with an interesting use of rhythm and a sophisticated sense of visual balance in his creation of this piece. The painting is titled "What in the World" in pencil on verso and signed on the front "DK" and dated 3-'95 in the lower right hand corner. The painting has been professionally framed in a matte black wooden frame. This is a very strong work visually with great surface details in excellent unrestored condition. Located in Laguna Beach, Calif.

He began painting at a young age and his keen interest in the history of astronomy is largely inspired by the creation of his own personnel cosmography. Known for both his paintings and sculptures he has installations throughout the world. His works are to be found in numerous important public and private collections, both in France and abroad. Many major museums around the world have exhibited his work including the National Museum of Taiwan, the National Museum of Luxembourg, the Marine Museum in Paris, the Botanical Museum of Brussels, the House of Culture Moscow and the Shanghai museum of Fine Art. He has also graced the covers of Decorating Magazines especially in France.

His sculptures have even higher price points including two that reached $404,00 and $915,00. In addition he has also worked with Daum creating unique glass sculptures. Since November 6, 2015, his red bronze sculpture: Angel Bear, more than 7 meters in height which portrays a bear with wings, is placed on the Gare du Nord square in Paris. It evokes the downward spiral of polar bears due to global warming, one of his favorite themes.
