Assault on The Art Scene is an attack on the pretension that accompanies the average art show, featuring the work of Kyle Roberts and Kardan.

This unusual exhibition is built upon the belief that: Art should not be safe. Art should not be boring. Art should feel dangerous. This provocative exhibit features pieces that lift the societal veil and allow their viewers a peek at the commonality underneath. Fueled by intangible compulsions, Kyle and Kardan both describe a loss of self/ego while creating their works. The aftermath is an offering from the other side… a primal exchange.

Kyle Roberts is a stencil/spray paint artist who delivers a deep dive into the absurd decline of society through depictions of desperation, depravity, and the irrational. Kyle’s art portrays subversive themes that resonate an unnerving unspoken universal experience. His work implores viewers to question their bias on tradition, religion, and social standards while employing a subtle satire that reverberates throughout each piece. His style has previously been described as “Animal Farm meets The Ticonderoga Express on the carousel of beatitude”.

Kardan is a 20-year old self-taught artist from Long Island who moved to upstate NY in 2015. She is not bound to any set style and loves to experiment with different forms. Her work is deeply tied to bird symbolism, which acts as a reflection of humanity’s desire, intelligence, and abandonment. Kardan believes that art is a place where wildness, pain, and truth are allowed to live unfiltered. Her pieces beg to speak to anyone with their brain and heart exposed, and serve as a reminder that - much like freedom - art is something you feel before you understand.
