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 appropriating 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.
I’ve actually seen some of his art up close. this is really cool
Also an incredibly nice, brilliant man. I got to spend a few days in his company once, and was in awe of his point of view.
