First, appreciate the cryptic charm behind the artist's chosen name. KMNDZ comes from the computer keyboard directive 'command' + 'z' = 'undo' - a beguiling (almost poetic) fiat that could easily be applied to other situations or to any number of hopeful wishes in one's life. This graphic design genius impressively utilizes every aesthetic possibility that technology and new media offer up - and does so with an incredible passion for detail. Tres Colores ("Three Colors") draws your attention to both the obvious (three distinct shades, three principal subjects) and to the symbolic subtext within a descending cascade of bombs. This is familiar imagery and (of course) a familiar reflection on our destructive-prone nature, but there is a subtle whisper of defiant hope on the canvas that the eye will detect with grateful relief.
