‘A few lines are dropped on a page in less than a minute, without altering, figures in full compositions are found. An artistry is already infused subconsciously into the lines. By selecting and emphasizing certain shapes from seeming chaos, I discover consistently complete compositions with figures. ‘

Kire will showcase his captivating art discoveries through attractive mixed media paintings on canvas at the A. Milner Library, providing art enthusiasts an opportunity to engage with his unique development on the concept.
