kenneth susynski
Kenneth Susynski (American, b. 1965) presents a unique, hybrid style of figurative expressionism in narrative, often theatrical compositions that focus on an interpretation of beauty as performed in front of a very human lens.
Working in oils with an aim to seamlessly blend the representational form with the abstract, he has a singular goal to conjure rich humanity from his work that speaks to each and any viewer.
"The third Chase Gallery artist, Seattle-based Kenneth Susynski, uses his oil paintings to explore the emotional psyche of motherhood. But there is nothing sentimental about these surreal mothering scenarios. Babies are alternately coddled, ignored and thrust into life’s dangerous playgrounds. Mommy basks in all her glory and power; best to hold her hand tightly and try to relax." - Audrey Overstreet, The Spokesman Review (Spokane WA), Aug.2019
