Joseph Zvejnieks "Sports Illustrated / Brief Moments of Action"
Eye Level BQE
This event has ended.
Moments of sports live forever, when in reality there is no permanence to great performances. In his latest series, artist Joseph Zvejnieks, tries to capture the heightened reality and anxiety of sports, reducing it down to single moments of great emotion that sports often exemplify.
Understanding and admiring the dedication and rigor that athletes put themselves through, the artist sees himself like the athletes he paints. His process is full of extended periods of thought, preparation, and training that are highlighted by brief moments of action. Intensified by an overwhelming pressure to constantly do better, Joseph Zvejnieks, embodies the desires an athlete possesses in the home stretch; trying to push himself past the limits.
The Opening for Joseph Zvejnieks solo show just before the Winter Olympics, reminds us of the excitement in which Greek artists sought to gain knowledge through studies of the human body in motion.
