// Jacob Kassay's Untitled 4/10 (Radikal) (2013) is a lithograph that presents a mirrored and distressed depiction of a newspaper spread. The reversed and faded text, accompanied by distorted images, creates a visual commentary on the fleeting nature of printed media and its impact on the perception of information. The monochromatic scheme and visible imperfections—such as smudges and faded areas—add to the sense of decay and disintegration, emphasizing the ephemerality of news in the digital age. This limited edition piece, part of a small series of just 2 prints, challenges viewers to reconsider the reliability and permanence of traditional communication channels, highlighting the distortion inherent in how news is consumed and interpreted.
Jacob Kassay (USA, 1984) is a contemporary artist known for his reflective silver monochrome paintings created through electroplating. His work, which bridges painting, sculpture, and filmmaking, engages viewers by transforming surfaces into mirrors of their environment. Exhibited globally, Kassay’s art redefines traditional perspectives on materiality and perception.
Lithograph Lithography is a printing method based on the principle that water and oil do not mix. It can be used to print artwork or text onto paper or other suitable materials. Traditionally, an image was drawn with wax, fat, or oil onto a lithographic limestone surface or plate. Today, metal plates and other surfaces are also used in lithographic printing.

- Jacob Kassay
Jacob Kassay (b. 1984 USA) is an American contemporary artist known for his minimalistpaintings and conceptual installations that explore the materiality of art and the processes of perception. Kassay gained early recognition for his silver deposit paintings, where he used an electroplating process to create reflective, mirrored surfaces on canvas. These works are characterized by their subtle interplay of light and shadow, creating dynamic visual effects that change depending on the viewer’s position and the surrounding environment. Kassay's work often challenges traditional notions of painting by emphasizing the physicality of the medium and the conditions under which art is experienced. His approach blurs the line between painting and sculpture, inviting viewers to engage with the artwork in a spatial and tactile manner. Kassay’s work has been exhibited internationally and continues to be a significant voice in discussions about the boundaries of contemporary art.
Abstract art uses form, shape, line, and color to create a visual experience without attempting to represent external reality. The composition exists independently of the world's visual references, focusing on expressing ideas and emotions through non-representational means.
