Hidden thorns and plastic gardens Print

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.
