Gauntlet Gallery — Kai & Sunny Print Index
Human - Nature (First Edition)
Summary
Human - Nature is a 2025 six-colour hand-pulled screen print on 410gsm Somerset radiant white cotton, at a large 65 x 86 cm. Signed by both artists in an edition of 150, it is one of the studio's more accessible large-format releases, layering six ink passes into a rich, saturated composition.
Why It Matters
Six colour passes on heavy 410gsm stock is a substantial technical build, and the large scale gives the imagery real wall presence. At an edition of 150 signed by both Kai and Sunny, this is a comparatively available entry point into the duo's larger works, balancing size and craft against a mid-sized run.
Collector Perspective
The 150 edition makes this scarce rather than rare, and the accessible run suits collectors wanting a large, fully-realised Kai & Sunny print without the constraints of a single-digit edition. Dual signatures support authentication. As a large sheet, storage and flat handling of the 410gsm paper are practical considerations.
Historical Context
The Human - Nature title speaks directly to Kai & Sunny's central preoccupation—the relationship between humanity and the natural world—which has driven their book projects and print series for years. The 2025 work continues their practice of encoding environmental themes within abstract, pattern-based imagery.

Their editions are published in tightly controlled runs and have been exhibited internationally.
Collecting Kai & Sunny at Gauntlet Gallery
What Kai & Sunny works should I collect?
Their signed, numbered silkscreen editions, often featuring metallic inks, blind embossing, and hand-finished detail, are the heart of the market. Foil and layered prints in small runs are especially collectible. Gauntlet Gallery selects pieces in pristine condition with crisp embossing and complete signing.
How is authenticity handled?
Kai & Sunny editions are offered with documented studio provenance and the duo's signature and numbering. We photograph the specific piece you will receive, including signature, edition number, and any embossing, so every detail is verifiable before you buy.
What drives value?
Small edition sizes, special finishes (foil, embossing, hand-work), condition, and provenance from a documented release drive value. Sold-out, low-numbered, and specially finished editions command the strongest premiums.
