Art Imitates Kyan’s Life: On view in the Patricia A. Peer Window Gallery from May 1 – May 29

Kyan Adger Hackney is a Wichita-based artist whose work centers on portraiture, connection, and a lifelong love of art. Inspired from a young age by artists like Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh, Kyan’s creative journey has grown into a deeply personal and community-centered practice.

Since beginning his painting journey in 2021, Kyan has become known throughout Wichita for his striking portraits of both familiar faces and everyday encounters—from friends and community members to local figures like Lily Wu and Laura Kelly.

For Kyan, portraiture is about more than creating an image—it’s about connection. He often gifts his drawings to his subjects, creating moments of joy, recognition, and shared humanity. His work reflects a thoughtful way of seeing the world—one that values presence, individuality, and meaningful human exchange.

Stop by to experience this heartfelt exhibition, and celebrate the power of art to connect us all.
