American, b. 1978

Brad Kayal is an American artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Museum of Modern Art.

Brad Kayal’s prints look like they were made by a printer who moonlighted as a geometry teacher. He stacks precise rectangles and muted colors so methodically you half expect the page to start calculating your mortgage. One set, thirty-one screenprints from 2012, takes a single grid and nudges a single white square across it like a slow-motion game of solitaire.

Tap any one of those Untitled prints, look for the one where the white square lands dead center, and you’ll see how a rigid system can still feel alive.
