Come visit The Lab on Santa Fe in Denver this May-June and witness a dynamite group show that I'm happy to be participating in:
The Lab on Santa Fe 840 Santa Fe Drive Denver CO USA "ANYTHING GOES" 8.May.2026 - 7.Jun.2026 Opening Reception: Sa. 9.May.2026, 15.00 - 17.00 ANYTHING GOES has no theme, no constraints, and no prescribed way to respond. This exhibition is built to hold a wide range of work, from the quiet and considered to the bold, awkward, unresolved, or confrontational. If you’ve been waiting for a context that doesn’t ask you to translate, explain, or soften your instincts, this is it. Each artist contributes work that feels most like each of them right now. That might mean something formally tight and restrained, or something impulsive, messy, and hard to pin down. Work that leans poetic, gentle, or intimate is just as welcome as work that pushes, provokes, or refuses comfort. I'm honored to be selected for an artist feature in the next issue of New Visionary Magazine. Details to follow in the coming weeks.
I am extremely pleased to be one of 40 selected artists to be included in the upcoming New American Paintings, Issue 168, West. This year's annual juried competition covers the geographic region of AZ, CO, ID, MT, NE, NV, KS, ND, NM, OK, SD, TX, UT, WY, and was curated by Vivian Li, PhD, the Lupe Murchison Curator of Contemporary Art, Dallas Museum of Art. The issue is due for release in the fall of this year.
I'm very pleased and honored to have one of my works purchased through the NM Public Arts Program by Eastern New Mexico University - Roswell. The purchased painting, Luchadora, is posted below. Looking forward to seeing it hung in their public collection.  Introducing a new body of work filling three large rooms at Aurelia Gallery during a solo show this summer. This show continues on the recent theme of contemporary interpretations of classical works by the Old Master and Greek Mythology.
DATES: 3.August- 25.Sep.2023 LOCATION: Aurelia Gallery 414 Canyon Road Santa Fe NM 87501 OPENING RECEPTION: 4.August.2023, 5-7p |
STATEMENTKenneth Susynski is an American contemporary painter known for his unique, hybrid style that blends figurative expressionism with abstraction. His narrative oil paintings often explore historical, classical, and contemporary cultural themes with a distinct hint of wit and emotional contrast. His rendering of the human form is structurally influenced by a lifelong interest in historical and contemporary black-and-white photography. His work bridges multiple genres, combining elements of impressionism, traditional portraiture, sharp figuration, and fluid abstraction to create fresh, layered oil paintings. |
