SupaKitch is so utterly fascinated and inspired by the phenomenon of this transient moment that he decided to research and depict it. Therefore, the artist extracted the aesthetic essence of the intriguing element and removed the unnecessary parameters. The key aspects of SupaKitch’s water aesthetics are gesture, movement, light, colour and matter.
With SupaKitch’s background as a graffiti artist, gesture and lines are essential to his artistic expression. He approaches his motif with a continuous line or a flow, similar to automatic writing or an intuitive choreographed movement. There is no possibility for mistakes, which allows the artist to draw in one go only. The artist trusts the drawing of his hand to surprise him in the end.
„ Painting on large walls means using your whole body for a beautiful curved line.“
SUPAKITCH, 2020.
SupaKitch’s visual approach forces the spectator to play to move in front of the work in order to see organic forms in movement and thus to follow with the eyes and the body the movement of the artist at the moment of painting. A combination of hyperrealism and interactive artwork surprises the viewer, when standing and moving in front of the marble-like, mirroring and aquatic surface. Nevertheless, it is a challenge to follow and detect the artist’s brushstrokes in the seemingly smooth and gleaming finish.
Organic, free and hypnotic – the power of water makes SupaKitch want to observe its movement, reflections, waves, transparency and nuances. The organic dynamism of the element of water is reflected by the artist in the moment of creating the artwork and resonates during the mesmerizing contemplation.
