poster for Chris Kienke "The Armada"

This event has ended.

Kienke's current paintings are from a series titled, The Armada. This series of paintings reflect his interest in nautical history and with it the spread of power and the influence of civilizations across the globe. In regard to material exploration they are a joy to paint as the boat forms offer an ideal subject matter to explore surfaces and paint interaction. Kienke is interested in creating surfaces that make it difficult for the viewer to decipher the archeology of the painted layers. He wants the images to be in the surface not on the surface of the work. The resulting series of paintings are a mix of romantic metaphysical ambitions, historical research, and a critical awareness of modern art.
