Jack Kaido is an abstract painter.
He creates lifelike abstract paintings in digital’s endlessly-reproducible form, then plays with this by minting 1/1 only editions, just like real paintings — a buyer becomes the only person worldwide to own the painting.
Kaido experiments with colours through colour theory and seeks to capture moments, memories, emotions, landscapes and ideas in his paintings. This capturing is viewed as a form of photograph of an experienced inner moment, or in other words, ’polaroids of the within’.
His first series 'Polaroids' is comprised of 30 paintings, and the series takes its title and reflections from #11 in the series. His work takes great influence from the art of the American Abstract Expressionists of the 1950s, and in particular, Willem de Kooning and Joan Mitchell.
