KRIS K

Kris K is a globally based multidisciplinary artist with a practice that spans the mediums of digital illustration, oil, acrylic and design. 

With a single line, Kris K illustrates the visage of her portraits in one continuous movement - her brush never leaving the surface of the canvas. Her portrait’s eyes, eyelashes, eyebrows, nose, lips, chin, ears and overall face are created in one go, with one unbroken line. A unique blend of traditional and modern influences, Kris K’s works have a femininity that exudes poise, confidence, and an undeniable power. 

Kris K’s practice frequently explores the interplay between minimalist sketching and bold, unconventional color palettes. The results are works that evoke a sense of fluidity and chance, all while being deeply rooted to the central thumbprint of her iconic style.

LINEAGE

KRIS K'S PRACTICE IS DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE ART STYLE OF "LINEAGE", OF WHICH SHE HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN FOUNDING.

The hallmarks of Lineage are a continuous contour line, abstraction and minimalism.

From the brush stroke’s conception, to its concluding destination, Kris K’s line charts a path that is both a conversation with its origins and a journey into the unknown. Like branches from the lineage of a central trunk, this approach extends beyond the visage and into the wider work. Core to Lineage is the nature of abstraction - of evolution, of departure from the linear. Through form and palette, Kris K’s work breaks from convention. Perspectives shift and dance, colors resonate both in their independence and their unity.

There is an inherent minimalism to the deftness in which Kris K channels emotions - nuance that finds a home through the unique experience of each observer. As rivers carve their mark across landscapes, so does the fluidity and confidence of Kris K’s forms. This union of design and fate, of choice and chance, give Kris K’s work a cohesion that emanates life and legacy.

Lineage can additionally be understood to represent the broader tradition of Abstract Art - a continuation and a unique development on what has come before. Minimalism, Pop Art, Surrealism and Contemporary Art styles border and intersect with Kris K’s work. Lastly, Lineage is evocative of the evolution of Art onto the landscape of new technologies - Kris K’s work sits on the bedrock of the physical and the blockchain.

AS RIVERS CARVE THEIR MARK ACROSS LANDSCAPES, SO DOES THE FLUIDITY AND CONFIDENCE OF HER FORMS.

THIS UNION OF DESIGN AND FATE, OF CHOICE AND CHANCE, BRINGS FORTH A COHESION THAT EMANATES LIFE AND LEGACY.
