Kenneth Susynski
My work is a hybrid of figurative expressionism blended with the abstract, with distinctively narrative compositions that examine and interpret contemporary and historical themes.
Having been raised primarily in Germany, yet also in Turkey and Korea, the influence of experiencing culture and custom combined with countless visits to many of the world’s great museums and cultural institutions as a child formed my appreciation of art and, specifically, the figure.
A lifelong interest in historical and contemporary black-and-white photography shapes my rendering of the human form. I am a self-taught painter working in oils, and my ultimate goal with each piece is to create a vibrant work that is lastingly meaningful, timely, and timeless, and evokes my spirit.
