Why It Matters
As the first print edition derived from a sold-out original pen series, Split Circle marks the point where Kai & Sunny converted a body of unique drawings into an accessible edition. That lineage gives it particular significance for collectors tracing the relationship between the duo's original works and their printed output.
Collector Perspective
The connection to a sold-out original series adds narrative value, since the print carries forward imagery collectors could otherwise only own as one-off drawings. With three-tier authentication—signed, stamped and numbered—out of 100, verification is straightforward; confirm all three marks and the square 57 x 57 cm format.
Historical Context
Kai & Sunny's pen-based drawing practice underpins much of their editioned work, with fine linear fields built up by hand. Producing Split Circle in 2015 as the first print from that pen series reflects a common trajectory for the duo—originating imagery in unique drawings, then releasing it to a wider audience through numbered prints.
