Kentler will present a range of works on paper, from prints to drawings, collage and installation - 
and it will include some of the most exciting and vibrant work being currently made in any art circles. 
The works represent a cross-section of contemporary sensibilities, commenting on the challenges of the
postmodern world.
Some deal with issues of identity, including that of being an outsider in a mass society. The work may
or may not hint at the ethnicity of its maker, but it consistently employs powerful strategies to
grapple with modern life in a global world.
