BRIAN KERSHISNIK

My subjects are typically not grand, they are you and me – a little awkward in their common work-a-day holiness. They are often not “getting it”, or perhaps getting it wrong. They are misunderstood, like you and I are misunderstood, but loved and lovely too. They are a little heavy footed in their dancing, a little disheveled in their useful and inscrutable activities, a little disoriented in their best of intentions. The subjects in my paintings are metaphorical and mythological autobiography and when it is working, they are you too.

A painting by Brian Kershisnik. A couple with dark hair against a landscape of blues and green and beige sky both looking the opposite way. He is in a black jacket and white shirt and she a black top and blue skirt. Quick shop
