KX2

Creative influence is fostered in human experience. As artists inspired by the natural world, we are accustomed to reinterpreting organic patterns and colors within formal contemporary sculpture. Traditionally in our work, repurposed metals are joined with recycled canvas and paint to create bold abstract sculptures where waterways, shorelines and colors of the Eastern seaboard take center stage. More recently, we are creating work as a response to environmental stressors such as water rise, toxic pollution and over consumption which have pushed the planet to an unprecedented state of fragility. In each work, there is an emphasis on material and form that while aesthetically pleasing, we hope also conveys a message of human responsibility toward the environment. We hope our work creates a moment of pause, reflection and ultimately an awareness of relationship with each other and the planet.

KX2 is a collaboration combining the strengths of artists and sisters Ruth Avra and Dana Kleinman who create artwork which merges metal and painting. 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.
