LA-based street artist Kar-Part, originally a mechanical engineer, uses art to express his frustration with socio-political and economic issues. His "Totem Dolls" series, started in 2020, portrays public figures and historical icons, peeling back layers of their identity to explore what drives them. Kar-Part’s street art, created using stencils and aerosols, has evolved into limited edition works on canvas and wood. HID12401132022 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
