Capri is just a name now
2017
A hazy, dreamlike landscape rendered in muted, melancholic tones evokes a sense of longing and displacement, where the idea of an idyllic destination dissolves into something more elusive and bittersweet. Kunath layers oil paint with paper collage to create a surface that feels both intimate and fragmented, blending text and imagery in a way that hovers between memory and abstraction. The work captures his signature emotional wit — poetic and quietly humorous — as the famed Italian island is reduced to little more than a wistful utterance.
