Biography
J. Kesin is a contemporary German artist. J. Kesin's artistic journey is a captivating odyssey through the corridors of his singular perception of the world. His body of work is a mesmerizing kaleidoscope, where a rich tapestry of subjects comes to life through his adept use of color, form, and texture on the canvas.
Kesin's artistic palette is broad and diverse, encompassing everything from deeply personal autobiographical reflections to thought-provoking sociocultural musings, and from abstract concepts to universal themes. What sets his art apart is his remarkable ability to deconstruct and reconstruct these subjects, creating an intricate interplay of visual elements that engage and enthrall the viewer.
Influenced by a rich tapestry of artistic movements, Kesin draws inspiration from early abstraction, cubism, and constructivism. These influences converge and dance with the concept of simultaneity and Hodgkin's associative abstraction, infusing his paintings with a unique and captivating fusion of ideas and aesthetics.
Kesin's life has been marked by a tireless spirit of exploration and discovery. Born in Germany, he embarked on a journey that took him to the United Kingdom, Spain, and far-flung destinations like Russia and Uzbekistan. Along the way, he engaged in self-taught artistic studies, which laid the foundation for his artistic pursuits. His academic journey further enriched his perspective, as he earned a degree in cultural studies, providing him with a deeper understanding of the sociocultural forces that shape our world. Crucially, Kesin's artistic development was further nurtured under the guidance of the renowned lecturer and artist, Sibylle Werkmeister. This mentorship refined his artistic sensibilities and equipped him with the skills and insights necessary to refine his craft.

"Layered Perceptions" Solo Exhibiton, paintings by J.Kesin
De Souza Galery, Cervera del Maestre, Spain
De Souza Gallery is delighted to present “Layered Perceptions”, a solo exhibition and online presentation of paintings by J. Kesín.
The exhibition will focus on the artist's latest series of works titled ‘Stripes’ and ‘Horizons’, both produced during 2020/21, however, a few of his earlier works will also be on show.
The current works are an attempt to depict by means of the application of a variety of layers, the artist’s perception of subjects from such different fields as current affairs, personal experiences, literature or concepts.
Each layer may have its own meaning and represent a certain part of the subject, whether concrete or perceived, thus incorporating a constructed quality into the works.
Yet the symbiosis of a somewhat analytical approach with spontaneous decisions towards the application/ removal or covering up of paint, strikes a satisfying balance in the finished works.
