Tanith K is an abstract artist and maximalist curator living and working in their hometown of Kansas City, Missouri with a black cat named Kenzie. They are a self-taught painter, graphic designer, and gallery curator with a background in historical research and tech. Since childhood, they have been curious about the hows and the why people are as they are. What makes us tick? Where do we develop our thought processes? How can someone be simultaneously hypervisible and deliberately invisible? 

​

Tanith’s art reflects upon their personal experiences as well as the exploration of the general Human Condition. Philosophy, history, emotions, current events, and more inform their work throughout the creative process. As famously put by everyone’s favorite green boy: “Ogres have layers,” and so do we.

​

Tanith plays with organized chaos. Just like life, it is messy, fun, mind-boggling, and beautiful. Each layer builds upon the next to create a whole and no piece is complete without them. They aim to capture the struggle and joy of living authentically in a world that demands manufactured personalities and one-dimensionality. Their methods include acrylic and digital paints to create abstract works with a focus on color, texture, shape, and movement.
