This artwork presents a striking fusion of nature and music, transforming a classic red electric guitar body into a living canvas. The guitar's surface is meticulously stripped to reveal patches of rich, dark soil embedded within its body, where tufts of vibrant green grass are sprouting. The contrast between the glossy red finish and the raw earth symbolizes a harmonious blend of the mechanical and organic. Strategic placement of the soil and plants echoes the guitar's original design, retaining its identity while showcasing nature’s reclamation. The worn, exposed areas of the guitar add a rustic, aged aesthetic, suggesting themes of renewal and transformation. This piece captures the viewer’s imagination, challenging perceptions of art as it bridges sound and nature, decay and growth. It stands as a testament to the resilience of life, even in unexpected places, inviting reflection on environmental and cultural interplay.
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. For this body of works, Krag incorporates live and dry flowers, vines, moss, air plants and ocean driftwood creating botanical instruments that seem to touch on contrasting themes of vitality and decay. He creates breathing and dying objects deeply connected to the passing of time, stilled lives contemplating mortality and the brevity of beauty and life.

Presentation
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.
