| WK Interact (France/USA)
WK Interact was born in 1969 in Caen, France. He currently lives and works in New York. From a young age, WK was interested in the human body in motion, and his paintings of figures frozen in flights of movement clearly reflect this infatuation. The artist’s novel technique of twisting an original drawing or photograph with a photocopied, monochromatic palette creates a streamlined sense of immediacy in the finished work.
WK chooses the sites for his street pieces, first by finding an appropriate location, then by choosing imagery that is determined by his encounters or “interactions” (as the artist indicates in his pseudonym) with the urban environment. In the late 1990s, WK’s images began appearing on building facades in downtown Manhattan, complementing the constant stir of bodies in this fast-paced city. By the end of the decade, his unique aesthetic was sought after by galleries around the world, and the past ten years have resulted in many high-profile solo exhibits in London, Paris, New York and Los Angeles. In addition to this work, WK has produced a spectacular body of work entitled "Motion Portraits".
