Kinga Czerska

Kinga Czerska sees the world composed of an array of connections and information, which her mind processes with extraordinary nuance and detail. In her work, she flattens her perspectives into a single plane, analyzing its contents. As what she sees before her restructures, shifts, and undulated, she captures a moment when it is stable, just before another shift occurs, and creates intricately woven paintings that capture the light and movement and energy she sees.

To produce works that convey this innate, intrinsic energy, Czerska employs her engineering degrees in an architectural approach. Her paintings are comprised of multiple translucent layers of paint and textures on wood panels. She builds deep structures., adding layer upon layer, each covering the one beneath. Once she is satisfied with the strata of this world, she then begins to mine what she knows lies withing by meticulously removing portions of layers. What she, in this way, unearths, is a new, elegant, intricate world, which pulsates with energy and light. As she keeps working the surface she creates new spaces—a linked, unified environment, each element coactive with the other.

Czerska has exhibited extensively throughout the US including San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Aspen, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Santa Fe and Chicago. She has produced commissions for many collectors across the US, the Caribbean, Europe, Australia and throughout Asia. She has been awarded numerous public commissions and attended multiple prestigious residency programs, including Art/Omi and International Studio and Curatorial Program in New York.

Born in Krakow, Poland in 1973, she works between Seattle, New York, and Aspen
