Valuart Solos presents Kitasavi: A Thought-Provoking Journey into The Depths of Perception

This week, from July 7th-9th, Valuart Solos presents Kitasavi within an IRL exhibition bound to bring its visitors on a journey through the depths of perception.

Currently based in Istanbul, Turkey, Kitasavi is an artist merging 3D graphics, sculpture, painting, and photography.

With a foundation in graphic design, Kitasavi's art practice seeks to dismantle everyday life experiences and reconstruct them into a novel, unseen reality where chaos reigns supreme as the only order. His artistic approach is characterized by organic forms, whimsical characters, palpable textures, vibrant colors, hidden easter eggs, humor, and references to culinary and travel experiences. Located somewhere between abstract and figurative, real and ethereal, chaotic at first glance, his works are thoroughly structured and balanced.

In the latest episode of the Valuart podcast, Kitasavi joins Izzy to talk about his fascinating fusion of 3D graphics, sculpture, painting, and photography, and how he transitioned from a graphic design foundation to his current creative expression.

But also his upcoming Valuart Solos exhibition, a display as vibrant and captivating as his artistic vision.

Kitasavi's Valuart Solos exhibition is a carefully curated journey through the artist's own creative timeline, displaying a vibrant collection of his most cherished works from 2021 to 2023 — each artwork packed with intricate 3D compositions of his signature creatures and abstract shapes that breathe life into a rich and dynamic visual tapestry.

Designed for big screens, this exhibition is an invitation to step away from the habitual smaller screens of our devices and to dive into the larger-than-life details that often go unnoticed.

An otherworldly ambience nudges the boundary between reality and memory, sparking a conversation about beauty and perception. It is, in fact, as much a visual experience as it is an exploration into the depths of our consciousness, urging us to question: is what we see truly real or is it just a figment of our imagination, twisted and shaped by our memories?

Fakewhale Vault | Ganbrood

The next artist minting in the Fakewhale Vault this week is Ganbrood.

Navigating the intersection of art and artificial intelligence, Amsterdam-born artist Bas Uterwijk, also known as Ganbrood, has established a unique niche within the contemporary art scene. With a distinctive approach intertwining human insight and the potential of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Ganbrood shapes a new understanding of reality.

At the heart of Ganbrood's work is a profound exploration of the self and society, a critical look at culture and an intricate universe of personal experiences.

His compositions dwell on the edge of reality, treading the thin line between the abstract and the figurative, invoking a kind of visual dissonance akin to the works of Francis Bacon. An intentional dislocation, that pushes viewers to further ignite their imagination and engage with his work through their individual interpretive lens.

Discover the complete Fakewhale curatorial thread below and make sure to follow @fakewhale_xyz to be among the first to experience the artwork once it is minted today.

Stay tuned for another captivating week ahead, filled with even more art-infused highlights!
