TITUS KAPHAR Titus Kaphar was born in 1976 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He currently lives and works between New York and Connecticut, USA. His artworks interact with the history of art by approriating its styles and mediums. Kaphar cuts, bends, sculpts and mixes the work of Classic and Renaissance painters, creating formal games and new tales between fiction and quotation. As is often the case in Kaphar’s work, what is unseen, unspoken, and not understood is given greater weight, emphasis, and voice than what was revealed, depicted, or captured in the original genre. Each piece in some way embodies both liminality, that place betwixt and between, and metamorphosis – whether it is from the second to third dimension, painting to sculpture, or figure to abstraction. - Stella Maria Baer excerpt from Behind the Veil catalogue tituskaphar/
