Kayfe is queen of pop art

INTERACTION: HER SARDONIC HUMOUR OPENS DOORS

- Hein Kaiser

You look. Then look again. Stare. Take it in. And then wonder about it. There's an edge to pop surrealist Kayfe's work that, at least in musical terms, reminds of Pink Floyd, Jim Morrison, the Psychedelic Furs.

You get the picture, which is as provocative as it is stimulating. It suggests sardonic humour dressed up as irony.

Kayfe's an artist who makes you swallow before saying anything. She's funny, somewhat self-deprecating and a ball of creative, infectious energy.

She's a Gen Z, and wears a mask to conceal her identity somewhat, despite being an open book in a chinwag.

"I decided to be a faceless artist because it allows me to grow and change in a way that doesn't affect my art," she said.

"When you are faceless you can change, you can become whatever you want and still produce art. I wanted that for myself."
