A visual symphony of movement, rhythm, and light.
Kenor doesn’t just paint — he composes. Drawing inspiration from electronic music and the pulse of the city, this Barcelona-born artist transforms urban surfaces into vibrant, geometric orchestrations. Each line, each color, becomes a note in a visual score, echoing the beat of techno and the flow of dance.
Polyrhythmic Beats is the first monograph dedicated to Kenor’s kaleidoscopic world. Published on the occasion of his solo exhibition at Galerie Celal (Paris, 2014), this book traces his evolution from early graffiti rooted in letterform experimentation to large-scale murals, installations, sculptures, and performance-driven video works.
More than a catalogue, this book captures Kenor’s philosophy: to inject color into grey cities, to reclaim abandoned spaces, and to offer viewers a sense of freedom through abstraction. With contributions by curator and anthropologist Rafael Schacter, Polyrhythmic Beats invites you to see — and hear — the rhythm of the street.
