Love blows up in an edition of hand-finished sculptures by Kaï.

Kaï uses his recurring character IF (Imaginary Friend) to make statements about societal concerns with an optimistic undercurrent. IF is representative of everyone, bringing to light our complex relationship with money, power and consumerism.

In Content, IF sits on a heart-shaped balloon – eyebrows raised and hand on cheek in a moment of contemplation. The composition suggests tenderness and reflection, but IF’s feelings are ultimately left open to interpretation.

“I think art is about resonating and relating to people.”

Kaï travelled to the Avant Arte warehouse in Amsterdam and spray-painted the base of each sculpture, making each one unique.

Behind the scenes

Thumbnail for the artist Kai with a cartoon face

Kaï2 collaborationsKaï’s self-named ANTI-advertising harnesses commercial aesthetics to share positive, anti-consumerist messages. His multimedia approach spans painting, sculpture, mural and collage – created with a range of materials including spray-paint, acrylic, wood and cement. The protagonist of his work is a minimalist cartoon character named IF, or Imaginary Friend. Based on the archetypal WC sign, IF is designed to have no discernable race, gender or status, so as to symbolise social inclusivity. When realising new incarnations of IF, Kaï draws inspiration from elements of his cultural heritage and artistic upbringing, including the French comics his Tunisian father gave him as a child and traditional Mexican relief techniques passed on from his mother.
