CAIN Studios
CAIN's unique visual language is spontaneously and created in the moment. The artworks are bold and stylized with abstract shapes, letters, symbols, and hieroglyphs that create a sense of movement and energy. Engaging with a variety of media and techniques, CAIN's recognisable style pushes the boundaries between conceptualism and post-pop art. They examine and question the relationships between gender, sexuality, identity, and society's misconceptions, while also embracing the joyous aspects of the human experience. CAIN's paintings invite the viewer to enter into a conversation and explore their own interpretations, challenging us to think critically about the world and embrace the complexity of the human experience.
