Here I come again and I want you again, 2019

Kevin Krag  

This artwork presents a striking juxtaposition of form and texture, utilizing a narrow, vivid red plank as its base. The piece is distinguished by the incorporation of evenly spaced, vertical metallic pins that punctuate the surface, creating a dynamic skyline effect. The pins vary subtly in height, adding a sense of rhythm and movement to the otherwise linear composition. The contrast between the sleek, polished red and the stark, industrial nature of the pins is captivating, inviting viewers to explore themes of tension and balance. The close-up perspective emphasizes the individuality of each pin, while the broader view highlights the collective harmony of the structure. The creative use of color and material makes this artwork a compelling exploration of modern minimalism, blending simplicity with complexity in a thought-provoking manner.

Photography helps Kevin Krag to freeze in time his one-of-a-kind sculptures capturing the spiritual dimension, vulnerability, and mortality of his ephemeral pieces. Using ethically sourced archival photography cotton paper integrates another organic and sensual piece to the puzzle, standing the test of time and having the least possible adverse impact on the environment. 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, a 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.
