Rail God by KWEST • Wondereur

1 an exclusive artwork

“MY INTEREST in birds spawned from riding trains. The thunderbird became my moniker. It came from the idea that, as these trains are rolling along, there’s this spirit-bird that’s flying along with them. And like the thunderous sound of the train, the bird brings that energy wherever it’s going. I painted this sculpture with an automotive gold – a 1986 Porsche Gold – so it has a very special presence.”

Artist KWEST curated by world-renowned chef Susur Lee

“I like the fact that KWEST is a sculptor. I like his colours and his dimensions. He’s expressive. The way he does graffiti is very different from the way he does sculpture, which is very tangible and refined. His graffiti has three dimensions, and his sculpture, he implements nature with wood. He’s become mature in a different variety of forms.”
