Kala

Newman

THEIR LAIRS

In her work Kala Newman looks at society and the different layers within it, where our perception is constantly influenced by our surroundings, politics and the economy. With this world as a reflection field she creates her own world and stories in which we take a step back from reality.

“I challenge the viewer to look at the world as if it is the first time they see it, using imagery that might seem to be taken from the normal life but actually shows odd “metaphysical” beings and situations.”

Using this absurd/playful language the viewer often enjoys the work but after looking again you discover a more critical point of view.

The way Kala’s work comes together is very playful and with the use of cardboard and other throwaway materials she elevates the status of the throwaway material by pushing them in the art contest.
