ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Here is another work from the series I told a background story of in the previous post "Limelight". As can be seen, the exercise is to swing the dynamic and the mood with not so much what you paint, but how - patterns of displacing, tones and colours etc. But the most interesting here to me is the name I came up with - testament to narcissism. Because when I made this series at first it felt really strange and uncertain, like the initial reaction was - "boy this is narcissistic..", because it is to a certain degree has something of that, but then again - so what? And as an artist It felt interesting to exercise that and just see how it feels. And at the end of the day, it doesn't even matter -, it's how it looks and feels as a whole, from a distance and not taking it literal, isn't it what art is about mostly? And of course there is actually the whole style and a genre of graffiti tagging where it is exactly what you do. But here I guess all jokes aside I mainly wanted just make something almost abstract expressive but using something as definitive as words and letters and even to the extreme degree -own signature tag, like thats the whole sort of contradiction here, that it looks like a totally narcissistic ode to self and promoting own individuality and brand so blatantly and shamelessly, but at the same time there is more innocent intention of just creating a beautiful colourful artwork. Never thought something like this could even turn out to have as much or even any meaning and smth to describe as much. Art is art. Prints are also available. Get a big one and put it on your main wall! A conversation starter for sure.

KMST (artkmst), currently based in Belgrade, Serbia, has been a full time artist for about ten years, starting off in London, UK, making and selling art worldwide, at various periods having his studio located in different cities around the world. He has had a number of art shows—solo and collaborative, also participated in public art shows and fairs, international charitable, fashion and entertainment gala events, performed painting live on stage, was featured on large media platforms, magazines and TV channels, represented and worked with big brands and companies, has held private and open shows in major cafes, hotels and galleries, with clientele spanned across the world and various professional affiliations including well known artists, businessmen, cultural presenters and actors from across the globe. His art reflects the versatility of what one’s art can be and how it doesn't have to be limited and narrowed down to something exact and particular, being rather multifaceted, seasonal or eventual, yet still intentional and recognisable, combining features of genres and techniques that Artkemist picked up along the way to later incorporate into his works developing and pursuing his own creative methodology and solid stylistic integrity, showing strong devotion to one’s character and individuality. His art includes elements of abstract, contemporary pop, graffiti, expressionism, mixed media, collages, cubism, graphics, lettering etc. in some proportions and variations. His works mostly consist of canvas and wooden panel paintings, paper drawings, toys and sculptures, as well as high quality prints sometimes embellished or even completely reimagined, coming in wide variety of sizes. Artkmst’s mediums of choice are generally acrylics, oil pastel, spray paint, markers but sometimes it could incorporate some unusual selection of items like precious stones, gold, money bills and cut outs, paper pins, coffee, wine or whiskey spill. Though acrylics on canvas is what he tends to work with most often.
