Aivars Kisnics: Expressive Navigation at Agora Gallery
Chelsea's Agora Gallery will feature the creations of Latvian artist, Aivars Kisnics in The Substance of Abstraction.
- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) January 04, 2013 - Aivars Kisnics's oil on canvas paintings are multilayered abstractions featuring abrupt changes in texture, fragmentation and traces of the expressive subliminal impulse. Formerly a ship navigator, Kisnics's special relationship to the sea - where he spent most of his adult professional life - is a focal point of his creative work. The meeting of sea and sky or 'horizon' appears as a reoccurring trope in his works, as well as an emphasis on the interaction between horizontal and vertical lines. Through variegated and fully topographical surfaces Kisnics employs water-like imagery along with a host of abundant associations: life and regeneration; erosion and decay; danger; the unknown; and the spiritual. These works are at once sea and vessel, storm and ship, water and ether.
Born in Madona, Latvia, Aivars Kisnics attended the Maritime College and spent most of his adult life navigating ships on the Baltic Sea. Now retired, he currently resides in Liepaja where he has been painting for over ten years.
