Kai and Sunny Return To The Wild

Posted by Gavin Lucas, 15 June 2010, 11:13    Permalink    Comments (33)

Design and illustration duo Kai and Sunny have an exhibition at Stolenspace Gallery just off Brick Lane, entitled Return To The Wild which runs until June 20...

Return To The Wild continues where the pair's What A Wonderful World exhibition from last year left off – only this time various forms from nature are the starting point for the creation of abstract patterns – rather than the lush imagined landscapes of last year's show. A flock of birds in flight, for example, or swirling plant life in a river, are just some of the starting points for the imagery...

Kai and Sunny have very kindly given Creative Review a signed artists proof of the above image, entitled Butterfly Effect - Blue, to give away as our July issue Gallery prize. Full details will be in the issue which will be published next week. Butterfly Effect - Blue is a hand pulled two-colour screenprint printed on 100% Cotton Somerset Enhanced Paper at 75cm x 55cm in a limited edition of 25 signed and numbered prints.

Return To The Wild runs until June 20 at Stolenspace Gallery, Dray Walk, The Old Truman Brewery, 91 Brick Lane, London E1 6QL. Tel: +44 (0) 207 247 2684. Email: info@stolenspace.com. Opening times: Tuesday-Sunday, 11am - 7pm

I would definately return to the wild......it felt like the wild had come to life in the urban jungle. Mixed in with the Tiger beers on the opening night it truly felt like being on safari!
Loved the calm of the green grass, the energy of the bubbling water and the life of the birds and the butterflies. It was such a vibrant mix of the great energy of life in the wild.

A fantastic exhibition that captures Kai and Sunny's practice of obsessive, intricate and well crafted visual material. Well worth a visit.

Amazing work as always, it's in the details as usual with Kai & Sunny, check the show out if you can it's well worth the visit.
If I had the money I'd buy all the prints.

The work in this show is quite different to their previous exhibition at Stolen Space last year. The large-scale abstract prints are mesmerising, with beautiful layers of colour. I think I'll start saving up for their next show!
Well worth a visit.

Fabulous show, and definitely worth a visit. I love Kai and Sunny's work and think everyone should own one (or more).

Beautiful work, excellent show;
such subtle, sophisticated detail in the images
that you can only see up close - well worth a visit.
I love this new work and I'm very happy and proud to be the owner of one.

This work is exceptional. I didn't think they could top the last show, but, ai carumba: they have. Makes me want to buy a bigger loft so I can add it to my Kai and Sunny collection...

The detail and time put into these works is awe inspiring. Not even the close up photos above can do them justice you need to see these with your very own eyes. I'm going again tonight lol!

Calming, peaceful, dreamy works of art. Love the detail. Not sure which piece to invest in as yet!
Great show.

Another amazing installment into the K&S cannon, these are beautifuly meditative pieces that evoke tranquility and euphoria. A worthy progression from the last spellbinding show, these boys keep on keeping on. Here's to the next batch!!!

I particularly enjoyed Kai & Sonny's departure from colour with their series of black and white prints. A superb depth of field with a mesmerising 'magic eye' quality to them.
