Goes Merges Graffiti Energy with Character-Based Painting in New Series KYOT
Chinese artist Goes infuses character-driven painting with the vibrant spirit of graffiti, employing spray paint on canvas and oil pastel on board. His creations showcase whimsical figures like an irate bunny and a character named Happy Gog, inhabiting a playful realm where contrasting emotions coexist harmoniously. In the artwork Pastel Dream｜Orange, vivid, clashing colors overlap, capturing the essence of street art within a structured painted surface. Rather than segregating graffiti from studio work, Goes merges their distinct textures and techniques. His latest series, KYOT, is inspired by fairy tales and personal experiences, venturing into a realm shaped by both imagination and reality. Additionally, Goes collaborates on toy projects, extending his characters beyond traditional mediums. For more details, visit his Instagram, @goeskids.
