where he will be represented Oct.
25-Nov. 30.
Kay is newer to the professional art
world.
“I went to ArtPrize last year as a
visitor and got the idea to enter my
own work this year,” says Kay, 55,
who works out of a home studio and
has been represented by the Danielle
Peleg Gallery in West Bloomfield.
“I have experimented with draw-
ing, painting and sculpture. I didn’t
take any of it seriously until friends
of my wife, Robyn, noticed pieces
around our home and said how
much they liked each one.”
Candy Cosmos, which measures
48 by 33 inches, was planned with a
drawing of abstract shapes. Working
with a sign shop, Kay developed
painted shapes using acrylics
mounted onto the clear material and
enhanced the images with Swarovski
crystals.
“I wanted to create depth, shad-
ows, color and shine,” Kay explains.
“People thought the shapes reminded
them of candy so that became part
of the title. Because the candy looked
like it was floating in space, I added
the word ‘Cosmos.’”
Kay, who graduated from North
Farmington High School and has
been a longtime member of Temple
Israel, studied business at Michigan
State University. He has taken occa-
sional classes at the Detroit Institute
of Arts.
When he is not getting serious
about art, Kay devotes time to his
family, which includes 8-year-old
twins.
“I like working with Plexiglas
because the material is strong,” Kay
says. “Plexiglas seems to make each
piece timeless.” •
