Evgen Lisnyak

Works with the aesthetics of abstract expressionism. For him, abstraction expresses the act of the subconscious activity of the creator and enables the artist to break the boundaries between form and meaning.

"My paintings are my biography. I was inspired by all the events that are happening in my life. I specifically work with abstraction so that no one understands what is happening in it - it's more interesting to me. The main driver of my practice is the study (contemplation) of the tension between abstract sensations: random and ideal, naive and knowledgeable, instinctive and superhuman. In my works, I look for this string, this tension, and put on it a mixture of visual references to cultural products that are relevant now: it can be advertising, fashion, cinema, and even the works of other artists. In this way, I record the emotions, events and visual images of the time in which we live."
