KYLE CONFEHR: BREAKING RAD
+
PRINT SWEET: NEW EDITIONS
January 14-February 18, 2012

ABOUT BREAKING RAD
Kyle Confehr primarily creates ink on paper drawings focusing on the absurdity of brand
allegiance, irony, consumerism, social media, the notion of an “in” crowd and many other
facets of modern culture.

Breaking Rad will feature new and recent works on paper as well as a collaborative site
specific painting installtion with Favio Moreno of The Bodega Negra. This is the artist’s
first solo exhibition with The Public Trust.

ABOUT KYLE CONFEHR
Influenced by artists such as Jim Stoten, Geoff McFetridge, Chad Vangaalen, Andy
Goldsworthy and Edward Gorey, Confehr’s quick-witted delivery is satirical in nature
and outsider in its perspective. Further influences include Legos, Where’s Waldo, Batman,
rednecks, Ren and Stimpy, old Trapper Keepers, unicorns, laser beams, Pokemon and
awkward conversations with his best friend Pete. On a personal note Kyle loves pizza,
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Sharpie’s, his dog Oswald and most of all his wife
Meaghan. Kyle hates bad people, boy bands, country music and working out.
