SUNDAY SEPT 12TH AT 1PM - 7PM Free Admission but you must pay attention to what's happening in the New Harlem Renaissance. We at Kha-Tees are not here to be ordinary, we come to be EXTRAORDINARY. All are invited to come thru and talk, discuss with the artist and also purchase and buy from the artist. Don't miss out, put this I'm your Google calendar. In his decade-spanning practice, Khalid Sabree aka KHA-Tees has explored intelligence and spirituality through different materials and mediums. Not Self-taught nor school trained, Khalid began painting to imitate the comic books and cartoons he watched as a child. In his early work, he created abstract graffiti images, highlighting the drawings he saw on walls and ball courts in his Harlem neighborhood. Khalid later experimented with neo-expressionism and assemblage in the vein of Basquiat and Romare Bearden, using found objects like wood crates and sneaker boxes from around the streets of New York. He continues making paintings that later evolve into mixed media ideas. The recipient of many accolades and press write ups, Khalid falls outside the confines of any particular artistic movement or period, but he remains a seminal figure and an important influence to artists such as Chad Livesy and Anika Al-Uqda.
