The Long View invites us to reflect on how our understanding of the world shifts with time. How distance, both physical and emotional, transforms the way we perceive the past to alter the path ahead.

StolenSpace Gallery is excited to present ‘The Long View’ a new body of work by Kai & Sunny, exploring presence and absence, the visible and the unseen.
Kai Clements (Kai & Sunny) has spent the last decade developing a distinctive style, exploring movement, rhythm and spatial perception through intricate compositions of flowing lines and form. Drawing on the rhythms and patterns of the natural world, this new body of work moves between tension and release, presence and absence, melancholy and joy with shifting forms that exist in a constant state of flux.
Bringing together paintings on canvas, shaped works and original pen drawings on paper, offering a language for what can't easily be said, and considering the ways in which everything is subject to change, how time changes our perspective and how the past continues to shape what lies ahead. It is an exploration of continuity and the perspectives that emerge as we move through life.
The exhibition also features a special collaborative original by Kai & Sunny and D*Face, bringing together the artists in a unique one-off work. A limited-edition screen print, created exclusively for The Long View, will also be released to coincide with the exhibition.
In a special feature, Kai has created a miniature model of StolenSpace Gallery, with two original hand-painted works displayed in its windows. Visitors are invited into an immersive experience, with each painting viewed through binoculars and accompanied by an exclusive musical composition by TOYDRUM (Pablo Clements and James Griffith), the BAFTA, Emmy and Ivor Novello-nominated duo. The installation explores how colour, sound and perspective shape the way we see and feel, offering two different emotional experiences within the same space.
