Cloudy Boy w/ Clouds
Kahlhamer’s newest monotypes represent an array of techniques from his artistic practice: watercolor, spray paint and airbrush, stencils, and include a cadre of recurring characters who appear throughout his nearly 30-year career, Ugh and Cloudy Boy, among many unnamed others. The icons and themes in his work are born of a deliberate longtime practice – an almost life philosophy – of "yondering," a term Kahlhamer coined for nomadic wandering and pondering through his writing and drawing.
