PAUL KAMINSKI
Karaganda, 1961
Vibrant and luminous paintings, made of transparencies and tottering planes, constantly balancing between oneiric images and real vision. This is how Paul Kaminski shows us his suspended reality. His works deal with soul, spirit and psyche. Instinct and pulsion guide the tense gesture of the brushstroke. The act of painting is firm and immediate, as if from a certain moment on the paintbrush lead the hand, as it happened for the automatic painting by the Surrealist. The artist himself describes his abstract works as “poems” and his figurative ones as “novels”.
Born in 1961 in Karaganda, Kazakistan. From 1982 to 1992 he attended Valentin Golod’s atelier. In 1993 he moved to Wolfsburg, Germany, where he taught painting and was in charge of projects for city improvement. He was chosen for more than twenty solo exhibitions in Germany and invited to various art exhibitions in Switzerland, France, Russia, Belgium, Czech Republic, Holland and art shows in Europe and Australia. He lives and works in Wolfsburg, Germany.
