Kildi Drasa
Sunnies

The Breeder is pleased to present Sunnies, a solo exhibition by Kildi Drasa at The Breeder Feeder, the gallery’s space dedicated to experimentation and emerging voices.

The exhibition features a body of work comprising paintings and a sculpture that reflect Drasa’s ongoing investigation into the ways color and light manifest through technological materials. Drawing on methods akin to hacking, he intervenes in the internal logic of modern printing devices, redirecting their intended functions to expose new aesthetic and conceptual possibilities.

At the center of the exhibition is a striking aluminum sculpture of rave sunglasses. This piece, which lends the show its title, acts as a lens—both literal and symbolic—through which the world is refracted. Here, the “sunnies” embody a youthful outlook: playful yet cool, optimistic yet distanced. They speak to a generation’s desire to shield, stylize, and soften reality.

Drasa’s paintings are created through a visceral, almost performative process. Using industrial ink, sprayers, stencils, and rollers, he mimics the mechanical precision of printers, while embracing the unpredictability of the human hand. The results are hauntingly abstracted images—portraits, architecture, objects—rendered with both intimacy and intensity. His works explore the tension between control and chance, technology and touch, fiction and perception.

With Sunnies, Kildi Drasa invites viewers into an altered visual realm, where raw energy meets engineered logic, and where narratives are filtered through layers of light and coded coolness.
