Maya HAYUK (1969) - USA - Hash TAG – acrylic on wood panel - L 122 x H 91 cm – 2014 - Gallery certificate will be given to the buyer. Maya Hayuk (1969, Ukrainian-American) born in Baltimore lives and works in Brooklyn. She is an artist with an extensive background in a wide range of generative art and social practices. She is best known for the bold geometric patterns she employs in large-scale murals. Hayuk weaves visual information from her immediate surroundings into elaborate, painterly abstractions, thus creating an engaging mix of referents from popular culture and advanced painting practices alike. Her large-scale, improvised murals speak to the artist’s obsession with symmetry, “perfect imperfection” and outer/ inner space. Her works look to expanding consciousness and perception to find patterns and interconnectivity. Ultimately, the traditional and the contemporary blend into new harmonic, dissonant, optimistic, experimental compositions. Hayuk considers her studio painting and mural practices as both inversely relational and symbiotic. Maya Hayuk’s vibrant, painterly abstractions variously reference Ukrainian Easter eggs, Mexican woven blankets, mandalas, holograms, and Rorschach blots. The artist has used acrylic, ink, glitter, spray paint, watercolors, tape, and ballpoint pens to shape the kaleidoscopic geometries that fill her public murals, canvases, and works on paper. Hayuk embraces a dense, layered style that’s alternately harmonic and dissonant, referential and experimental.Hayuk has curated numerous exhibitions, is a member of the Barnstormers collective and she frequently collaborated with other artists and musicians. She's created album covers, videos, stage sets, photographs and posters for Rye Rye/M.I.A, The Akron Family, TV on the Radio, The Flaming Lips, Devendra Banhardt, Seun Kuti, Prefuse 73, Awesome Color, Oakley Hall, Home, Animal Collective, Dan Deacon, Bonnie Prince Billy and The Beastie Boys, amongst others.She publishes hand-made screenprints with Pictures On Walls in London UK. Hayuk curated THIS WALL COULD BE YOUR LIFE, from 2005 - 2011 on the exterior walls of the now legendary and recently demolished Monster Island/ Secret Project Robot in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
