I didn't visit art galleries growing up. I didn't know anything about it. But at 17 I made the decision to leave home and explore. I've been using the Internet since I was 13, so I could see there was this whole world out there.

More quotes by Kesh
My fans - I hate the word fans...my supporters - it's an international following that isn't from being in London and existing on the scene. It came from being on the Internet, from being a teenager communicating with different artists, showing who I am, who KESH is, as well as connecting with other people around the world doing similar things.
Kesh
It takes me a long time to understand my work myself, so I name them in the order that they're created.
Kesh
I'm not really a job-type person, where I go do a nine-to-give. I have to be with the work at all times and experiencing it.
Kesh
I tend to stay in one place and become a hermit and not leave. Work, work, work, and collect things, create and curate a space.
Kesh
My entire career comes from the power of social media and the way I've utilized those spaces and interacted with people across the world.
Kesh
I created my own space, which was called the cave. It was a live/work space in downtown Los Angeles on 7th and Spring. When I lived there it was quite derelict. I got this massive space and half of it was my bedroom and the other half of it was the back room - no [natural] light, all fluorescent lights.
Kesh
I use Instagram as an online gallery to display my work. For me, it's almost more important to exist online than it is in real life.
Kesh
Instead of collecting things and staying in one space, I want to collect experiences.
Kesh
Whatever social network that comes along, whether it be Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, whatever it is, I'll use it in a creative sense to push the vision and explore the possibilities of the relationship between humans and technology.
Kesh
I consider myself a digital artist, so what I'll do is create everything with technology.
Kesh
Art is something that everyone should be able to have access to.
Kesh
I have people who come up to me and say, 'Oh, seeing your work in my little home town in the middle of nowhere on the internet inspired me to move to London, or New York and pursue a creative career.' It makes me quite emotional.
Kesh
Growing up, I didn't have a family of creatives. I didn't have knowledge that becoming an artist was an option. I'm not from a wealthy family, and when you come from those circumstances, doing art isn't really an option.
Kesh
I want to always do things that are very current and pushing the boundaries of the way we create art.
Kesh
Nowadays anyone can show their art to anybody via the Internet.
Kesh
We live on planet earth, we have the sun, and it's the most beautiful thing, the way the sun dances and the way shadows are cast.
Kesh
I like to use things that didn't exist 50 years ago, or 20 years ago even.
Kesh
The way I view the works, they're more like feelings than anything else.
Kesh
If I keep going outside, I get distracted - and all these lunches and things I get invited to, I just don't care. I just want to make the work. New York is very distracting.
