Brian Kershisnik’s paintings are dreamlike, capturing moments of human experience—from the humorous to the serious—based in what he calls “mythological autobiography.” Figures with a subtle complexity occupy unadorned settings. Kershisnik’s primitive-realist style employs stylistic elements of cubist and Egyptian paintings—the frontal eye on profile figures, for example, as well as inscriptions and unusually large or small objects—to heighten the dreamlike quality of his paintings. Christian motifs and themes of flying are often seen in Kershisnik’s work, including in Flight Practice.
