Hayden Kays in Amsterdam

Contemporary Artist

Born and raised Londoner, Hayden Kays steps onto the world stage, representing a new generation of Pop artists. He walks in the footsteps of Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, and other Young British Artists. Hayden Kays is a painter, sculpture and printmaker that blurs the lines between street art and traditional visual culture.

He embraces the power of written words and creates art that opens doors and opens our minds. The contemporary artist uses his modern wit to reflect on society and free the judgments that might collect in the corners of closed minds.

“Everything that happens, happens because of love”

Through his art, Kays comments on the capitalist culture that rules the world. His reflections are sarcastic and absurd but always most certainly revealing a truth.

Discover the satirical maxims that have captivated the world. Furthermore, take a piece of the artist home with exclusive Hayden Kays art for sale in the Moco Gift Shops.

    I visited the museum for the second time. This time, it was richer in artworks, and the temporary exhibition by Robbie Williams really made a difference, raising strong awareness around the topic of mental health. It’s an exhibition that sparks a lot of reflection on current issues.

    Enjoyed this museum more than I expected. Definitely worth the visit and experience. It's not huge, but it is immersive in parts and contemporary art is inspiring. Go, check it out.
