Kai & Sunny, a painter of lines.
From Epsom School of Art to monumental frescoes.
Kai Clements (b.1975), known professionally as Kai & Sunny, is a UK-based artist and graduate of Epsom School of Art in Surrey, where he received a First-Class Honours degree in Art and Design.
The works of Kai & Sunny are recognised for their vibrant palettes and flowing, dynamic lines, creating distinctive acrylic paintings on linen. Kai Clements has developed this body of acrylic work since 2016.
The artist name Kai & Sunny reflects a long-standing ethos of collaboration and collective creativity. Regular collaborations with artists including Shepard Fairey and D*Face explore ideas of unity while allowing the work to continually evolve. Collaborating across art, innovation, and different forms of creative expression remains an important part of Kai’s practice.
Kai & Sunny has exhibited internationally, including in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Hong Kong, Paris, and London, and has exhibited at Haunch of Venison. Works by Kai & Sunny are also included in the Victoria and Albert Museum Print Archive Collection.
“I’m fascinated by the power of the natural world, and by exploring those precious unseen moments — the frequencies within nature. The lines within the works push and pull against one another, as if caught in a state of flux, while others flow freely and exude energy. Through colour, light, and movement, my aim is to immerse the viewer within the forces of nature and transport them on a journey.”

The poncho as a landscape of lines
Colour, movement, energy
For this After Lab poncho, Kai & Sunny haven’t simply printed a static image: they’ve created a landscape. With lines that push and pull, a vibrant colour palette and energy that flows, the design comes to life on the shoulder, in the light of the seaside, and in the rhythm of everyday life.
A wearable work of art
A true collaboration, designed for the beach and the street. With every step, the lines are redrawn, the colours respond to one another. The poncho becomes a moving canvas: at once a practical item, a visual signature and a fragment of a contemporary artwork.
