The Future Is Old

Hyper-realistic, bigger-than-life portraits and life-size sculptures confront the audience with deeply personal stories that expose the injustice in America and beyond in many democracies around the world today and make us question the current evolution of mankind’s history. The socially critical exhibition intends to open up our minds – ultimately, enlightening a more compassionate, understanding world.

THE KID questions how the recent and current social and political history seems to repeat itself in too many countries and the stance today’s youth will decide to take.

About contemporary artist THE KID
Already internationally recognized for his thought-provoking and socially committed body of artworks, THE KID is a natural-born citizen of the world and a self-educated multidisciplinary contemporary artist, who hijacks traditional technics of the old European Masters -drawing, painting and sculpture- to question the social issues facing contemporary youth today and even more tomorrow in our polarized world of the 21st century, such as the social determinism, the ever-threatened civil rights, the inequality of opportunity or the thin frontier between innocence and corruption for today’s youth. When asked about his work THE KID likes to underline his exceptional body of works with the famous words of the great 20th century Master Picasso: “Art is not made to decorate apartments, it is an offensive and defensive weapon of war against the enemy”.
