Work Summary & Collector Notes

Spike (2011) is a Kai & Sunny screen print hand-pulled in two colours — black and blue glitter — on 100% cotton Velin Cuve BFK Rives, at 80 x 120 cm unframed and issued in an edition of five, offered framed in oak stained black at 95 x 136 cm. The blue-glitter accent gives its spiked, radiating line-work a cool, electric register.

Collector notes: The saved release record describes: Edition Of 5. Edition-specific signature, numbering, and stamp details were not stated in the saved release record. Verify signing and numbering against a documented example of this edition.

Why It Matters

Part of the colour-coded 2011 BFK Rives suite, Spike is distinguished by its blue glitter, completing the accent trio with Palm (pink) and Rainfall (silver). The edition of five and premium cotton stock make it a scarce, cohesive large-format work.

Collector Perspective

Five impressions on BFK Rives place Spike among the duo's more exclusive prints. The blue glitter is its signature and should be checked for full, even coverage. It is especially sought by collectors assembling the matched 80 x 120 cm glitter suite from this 2011 release.

Historical Context

Spike belongs to Kai & Sunny's 2011 series of large two-colour glitter prints on BFK Rives, each keyed to a distinct accent colour. Its radiating spiked form reflects the duo's ongoing exploration of natural energy rendered as pattern.
