Innova Art at Moniker Art Fair: where the magic happens

Innova Art, the award-winning digital media specialist, is sponsoring two inspiring projects at the Moniker Art Fair, The Old Truman Brewery, London E1, 5–8 October 2017. The US mixed media artist Ian Kuali’i , a Moniker Art Fair Featured Artist, has created one of his signature, handcut paper installations especially for the fair. Kuali’i, whose approach is based on “the meditative process of destroying to create”, will be encouraging visitors around and inside his immersive paper sculpture, a work that, as always, draws as much on his ancestral ties to the indigenous people of the Southwest United States and Hawai’i, and his interest in occult symbolism, mysticism and global politics, as the Hip Hop music and art scene that first fired him up as an artist. In a 2016 interview, Kuali’i explained the evolution of his approach: "From graffiti writing, I wanted to simplify the process. I found stencilling through that. I ended up just appreciating the cut more than spraying… It’s a super challenging engineering approach from the standard stencil cutting way." "When you start looking at more of the motion of how some of the cut paper flows and the construction of it — or deconstruction, rather — you start seeing the basic motion of letter form from graffiti. You start seeing the motion of something in passing from pushing a skateboard. There’s a whisper of an old pattern from an Eddie Reategui mini-deck. Even with the cut elements, there’s power."1 In another exciting move, Innova Art is also sponsoring the ‘Postcode Print Release’ project, offering local residents their own very special take-out from the fair: a free print. The image will be provided by the brilliantly witty Mr Frivolous – “an artist [...]
