Artwork location: United States

This mesmerizing artwork commands attention with its intricate labyrinthine patterns and dynamic interplay of color. At first glance, the piece appears predominantly abstract, yet upon closer inspection, it reveals a meticulously crafted blend of organic and geometric forms. The artwork pulsates with an interplay of cool green hues intertwined with bold black and white elements, creating a stark and compelling contrast. The green segments, dispersed throughout the composition, breathe life into the chaotic maze of interlocking shapes, acting as both a point of rest for the eye and a conduit for visual movement. The monochromatic black and white sections, meanwhile, are dense with complexity—consisting of swirling, almost topographical lines that seem to pulse and vibrate within the frame. A closer examination unveils an architectural precision underpinning the seemingly chaotic array of forms. The layering technique employed gives a palpable sense of depth and texture, inviting the viewer to explore each segment of the artwork individually, as well as appreciate the harmonized composition as a whole. There is an inherent duality in the piece; it is both fluid and rigid, organic and structured—capturing the essence of natural formations like mineral veins or the branching of trees, yet grounded in a deliberate, methodical artificiality. This artwork stands as a testament to the artist's ability to blend chaos and order, creating a visually arresting piece that is as intellectually stimulating as it is aesthetically pleasing. It challenges the viewer to find coherence in confusion, beauty in disorder, and a deeper narrative within the abstract.

David Paul Kay, Oblivion
United States  • 1982

Presentation

David Paul Kay is an American artist born in 1982. Born in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, the artist fled to the United States in 2008 where he developed his black and white style, completely self-taught.

David's work has been exhibited and included in private collections in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East, and Africa, including artist residencies in Los Angeles, London, and the South of Spain. The artist has collaborated on global campaigns and private commissions with major brands such as Montblanc, PayPal, Cadillac, Equinox, and others.

"The universe is intricate yet so simple to navigate through with your eyes shut. That fascinates me and inspires everything I do or create. Imagination is a unique device I use to turn time and space into oblivion. I find comfort in creating complex images inspired by singular narratives. Anything can be the subject matter though not everything is. I just imagine what I can create and create what I can imagine. Always."
