He invites the viewer to become a part of that world and to develop their thoughts. Each individual sees something a little different from each other. Kaiser Kamal is a Bangladeshi -American artist resides in New York. He has had several solo exhibitions and numerous group shows all over the world.
Writing artist Will Kaplan combines different mediums, techniques, and text to probe boundaries. This New Jersey native grew up exploring highway hemmed nature preserves; tensions between the organic and the human-made manifest in his work. After graduating Skidmore College in 2017, Kaplan has made a new home in Queens, a rich setting in which to explore these themes. He currently serves as a board member at the Manhattan Graphics Center, and works for the art-handling company, Maquette Fine Art Services.
