SEVENxSEVEN is a collaborative residency and installation by artist David Paul Kay with Visual Artists Groupproduced by TWYLA. New York based artist, David Paul Kay, is in Los Angeles for a limited engagement. Kay’s newest work, SEVENxSEVEN uses the integer 7 as a basis to explore life cycles, the golden ratio, human maturation and development, refraction and ornamentation. SEVENxSEVEN was specifically designed through Kay’s live in habitation at the TWYLA residency program in Los Angeles. Kay composes an intricate design that fits in a gigantic seven foot by seven foot mural, only to be fractionated into seven smaller works that exist as individual art works. The gallery space engages mixed media techniques to mirror the simultaneous integrality and division. These seven works represent seven phases of life. David Paul Kay is a self-taught contemporary artist & muralist. Born and raised in former Republic of Georgia David witnessed the collapse of Soviet Union and years of civil war. David sees exteriors transformed, using vibrant lines, he converts walls, paper, fabric, objects, even human beings into kinetic surfaces. He is represented by Galerie-Kontakthof in Paris and is part of private collections in the United States, Europe and the Middle East. SEVENxSEVEN will be on display at Visual Artists Group on January 19th through February 5th, 2017. This is TWYLA’s debut artist in residence in Los Angeles.
