KMNY is pleased a new body of paintings by Winnipeg-based artist, Krisjanis Kaktins-Gorsline. Krisjanis is a recent graduate of Columbia University's MFA program in New York. Over the course of his practice he has produced a body of work employing a variety of media and disciplines. He has also participated in exhibitions and art projects internationally.
Krisjanis' current body of work consists of figurative oil paintings that use the format of classical portraiture as their point of departure. The paintings present depictions of figures constructed from image fragments that oscillate between representation and abstraction.
