Piece description from the artist
This is what I see when I paint: portals opening in landscapes, inviting us to step through. I build up translucent layers of oil paint, each one scattering light in its own way. When you look at it, your eye doesn't quite know where to settle – that's intentional. There's always a way through my paintings, a path that leads somewhere bigger than the frame. It's about breaking down walls, really. I want you to feel reconnected to something vast and majestic, like you've just woken up to a world that's always been there.
Winston Chmielinski (b. 1988 in Boston, MA) engages with painting through organic dissolutions and reconstitutions of the figure. Forms forego their contours, suspending Chmielinski's paintings out of narration and into insistence—of paint, of presence, and of perception.
Following a decade of critically acclaimed solo presentations in EU and US, inclusion in the 2013+2017 Venice Biennales, and spotlights at VOLTA NY, The Armory Show NY, Liste, and Positions Berlin, Winston now helms a creative studio in Berlin and is preparing a new body of work, to be released in 2023.
