Rhys John Kaye is a multidisciplinary artist exploring the intangible, bringing into form the unseen forces that shape human connection, memory, and emotional perception. His practice seeks to reveal the energetic threads that pass between people, places, and moments, often blurring the line between the physical and the felt.
Kaye’s process is intuitive and evolving. Working across painting, sculpture, ceramics, and writing, he draws on a wide range of forms and experiences, allowing each piece to emerge as a response to both inner terrain and external observation. The work is often gestural, textured, and open, rooted in a sense of presence rather than resolution.
Memory plays a central role. Informed by a transient, and somewhat turbulent personal history, Kaye’s practice reflects the fragmented way experience is carried within the body, fractured, reassembled, and reinterpreted through touch and time. The result is work that feels immediate and universal, charged with emotional weight yet open to interpretation.
Kaye has exhibited internationally, with recent solo exhibitions in Osaka, Seoul, and Melbourne, and residencies across Europe, Asia, and North America. His work invites viewers into a shared space, one where clarity gives way to feeling, and where we are reminded of our capacity to engage with life in its full, unspoken totality.
