Kai is an international artist recognized for his single-frame storytelling, unrivaled use of cement, and signature “IF” (Imaginary Friend) character.
Born in Los Angeles to a French-Tunisian father and Mexican-American mother, his work is rooted in a distinctive blend of history, tradition, and culture. Kai’s creative exploration began at age 14, when he began painting murals in the sprawling streets of his city.
His art, spanning from paintings to sculptures, is inspired by universal, social commentary. At the center of his work, IF is intentionally free of skin color, sex, race and cultural identity – and as a result, removed from stereotypes or cultural bias.
- This collection is a reflection of how our past and future are forever intertwined. It explores the duality of our memories – the recall of moments left behind and how they continue to affect us. Ultimately, “Perfect Memories” is about what makes us who we were, who we are, and who we be.
- This listing is for one of the 100 cement bricks made and signed by the artist Kai, and released during Art Basel 2023 at Wynwood Walls in Miami. Please note there are slight blemishes and the cement is not perfectly smooth but than neither is life. Its the past and future and what we make out of it. Please see photos - returns will not be accepted for this reason.
