Kenneth Susynski presents a unique, hybrid style of figurative expressionism blended with the abstract in narrative compositions that explore combinations of historical and contemporary 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 as a child formed his appreciation of art and, specifically, the figure. A lifelong interest in historical and contemporary black-and-white photography shapes his rendering of the human form. Working in oils, his goal is to create fresh, vibrant works that are lastingly meaningful, timely and timeless, and evoke his spirit.
In his present oils, he considers the emotional psyche of motherhood in works that are at once both lush fairy tales and disquieting scenarios.
He has had numerous solo and group shows both nationally and internationally, including the 2015 Palermo International Biennale, Art Caroussel-Louvre, Seattle Art Museum Gallery, and the Sundance Group.
