NADA Miami 2023
Adam Cruces, KAITO Itsuki
5 – 9 December 2023 | Ice Palace Studios | Booth B314
Blue Velvet is excited to present new works by Swiss-American artist Adam Cruces and Japanese painter KAITO Itsuki. Cruces sculptures and installations explore a distorted reflection of his everyday surroundings, captivating the viewer by offering moments of both clarity and confusion. KAITO delves deep into the intricacies of human identity and self-expression. In our quest for connection, empathy plays a vital role, but it can also lead to conformity and societal pressures. Balancing this desire for connection with the need for individual autonomy is crucial in KAITO’s works.
