About the Item

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 Florida. The artists say of their work… 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.
