Ken Cro-Ken is an earthwork artist who develops each painting in seasonal environments of high heat and extreme cold at various levels of humidity and altitude to experience the power of natural elements in response to his works. He defines these “active paints” as Speed Elements. He sets a painting in motion to recreate the push-pull forces that shape all properties and responds to the distinctive environmental contribution as further inspiration toward the completion of each canvas. The exposure of the canvas deepens his relationship with Nature and reveals its every influence.

As each soundscape morphs into various representational forms, the notes vibrate at different frequencies and a plethora of colors radiate from each piece in the shimmering silent language of the fifth dimension.
