WK (aka WK Interact) was born in 1969 in Caen, France. He has lived and worked in New York since the early 1990s. WK is interested in the human body in motion, his paintings of figures frozen in a flight of movement reflects this infatuation. The arti's unique process invovles a technique of twisting an original drawing or photograph while it's being photocopied, resulting in the monochromatic palette and streamlined moment-in-time appearance of his finished work. WK site-determines his placements by finding an appropriate location first, then his imagery is chosen specifically with a concrn for encounters in an urban environment of interaction. In the late 1990s his images began appearing on building faces in downtown Manhattan complimentin the constant stir of bodies and the perpetual motion of contemporary urban life in the fast-pace city.
