About the Item
Whether it is the aqua and teals of the waters in South Florida, or in this case, the cooler more muted tones of Northern coastlines, the ocean is a favorite muse for artist duo KX2. The surface treatment of the metal exterior in this piece is "whitewashed"; a matte white paint that is sanded through in parts, softening the metal. The painting portion of these pieces involves many layers of different tones. The closer you look, the more texture and color you see. The top layer is a gloss clear polymer amplifying the "water" quality of the painting.
10.5 x 3.5D in. each. Installation variable.

KX2: Ruth Avra and Dana Kleinman
KX2 is a collaboration combining the strengths of artists and sisters Ruth Avra and Dana Kleinman who create mathematically inspired sculpture merging metal and painting. From a distance the work is bold and geometric, yet up close the viewer is engaged by textural hand-sanded metal and multi-layered paintings. By exploring geometry, symmetry and connection, their work aims to create a moment of pause, inviting the viewer to escape the stresses of the day and find a space to achieve balance. In their most recent work, themes related to environmental issues are presented with the hope to raise an awareness of the fragility of our natural ecosystems. Since establishing their artistic collaboration in 2007, KX2’s work has been featured in notable galleries and museums around the world. Importantly, the work was leveraged to the international art scene with an invitation to represent the United States at the 2008 Beijing Biennale at the National Art Museum of China. Their work can be found in numerous private, corporate and public art collections throughout North America. Avra and Kleinman currently reside with their individual families in Southern Florida. KX2 is environmentally conscious of material choices, using up to 50% recycled metals and recycled canvas.
