Shay Kun
Shay Kun utilizes a rich, bold color scheme and a highly legible figurative style to render paintings that exhibit the humorous interplay of the stratified world socio-political situations.
Implementing vibrant acrylic hues and imagery from Saturday morning cartoons, urban magazines and internet clip art, Kun lends a universality to his visual language. De-individualizing his figures
and compositions and edging into the viewers everyday subconscious, Kun uncovers a path to an otherwise complex issue, ultimately subverting Pop-culture by accessing its latent socio-political
content. Kun creates moments of absurdity within otherwise charged atmospheres while simultaneously paying homage to the culture of backyard rural neighborhoods. A heavy handed and self-conscious
approach to paint simultaneously lends Kuns work both expressionistic and kitsch qualities while retaining a thrift store tongue in cheek façade to mirror imbalanced social frequencies.
