// Jacob Kassay's Untitled 4/8 (La Opinión) (2013) is a lithograph that manipulates the traditional newspaper format, presenting it in a distressed and mirrored fashion. The piece features faded and smudged imagery, with reversed text creating a fragmented and blurred view of a newspaper spread. The monochromatic palette emphasizes the archival feel, suggesting the transient and manipulated nature of information. The distressed elements evoke a sense of decay, reflecting on the ephemerality and distortion of printed media in the digital age. This limited edition work, produced in an edition of only 2, challenges viewers to reflect critically on how media is presented and how the perception of information is altered over time.
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.
