Brian Kershisnik III

 

It has come to the time when we look to the stars and moon for light, wintertime in the northern hemisphere, as I write this it is August and I worry what this winter will bring, but I can be sure of moon shadows and stars. 

These paintings are by American painter Brian Kershisnik, a storyteller in paint.

The second theme of Brian Kershisnik's paintings that I wanted to show you today is dance. Dance and romance and love great feelings to be able to hold on a canvas and Brian Kershisnik has achieved this with his weightless figures circling in the air, poetic and dream like.

Today I am exploring the portfolio of Brian Kershisnik, a beautiful portfolio with themes that resonate and paintings with observational titles and subjects that make me smile.
I am going to start with one of his reoccurring themes which is burdens. I particularly like the great big colourful burdens that are pictured and the way he has made something less visible in day to day life more visible through his imaginings.
