// Jacob Kassay's Untitled 9/10 (Radikal) is a limited edition lithograph created in 2013, featuring a fragmented presentation of newspaper pages. The piece utilizes layers of text and images from Radikal, a Turkish newspaper, printed in muted, monochromatic tones on a textured surface. The composition captures a blend of advertisements, headlines, and photos, creating an abstract yet recognizable form that conveys the chaotic nature of media and information overload. Kassay's approach invites viewers to consider the transient nature of news and printed media, while the monochromatic palette and fragmented layout add a contemplative, almost ghostly quality to the work.
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.
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
