Kevin Kusiolek – Perspective

“Perspective” is a solo exhibit by Kevin Kusiolek which he describes as “a visual diary of my experiences painted onto a surface”. The exhibit showcases oil paintings of the modern landscape capturing both Salem and Boston. The artist explains the exhibit as “I believe my work allows viewers a unique perspective through my artistic lens of a specific time and place. My compositions lean heavily on the architectural perspective in order to creative a dynamic angle or view. My body of work balances realism and abstraction which allows the viewer to “put the pieces together” and complete the painting as they feel fit. I feel as though my artistic approach evokes a sense of movement which is critical to the subject matter that I’m interested in. Cityscapes are fast faced environments filled with cars and people constantly moving to get to their desired destination. Nothing in the world is static and I attempt to capture that movement in my paintings”.
