Genti Korini : SOLID UNCERTAINTIES

21 Apr-20 May 2017

Overview

Korini’s canvasses are bold geometric explorations of shape, line, and colour. Evoking turn-of-the-century art movements such as Constructivism, Modernism and Suprematism, Genti’s works may remind the viewer of imagined eastern bloc architecture; these are monolithic structures comprised of impossible shapes and geometric forms that mirror early 20th century utopian ideals. He takes these former authoritarian designs of society and its aesthetics and translates them into a democratic vernacular language. Many of the structures that Korini depicts seem impossible to recreate on all but the two-dimensional plane. Unlike some of the Modernist works that inspire him, Korini imbues his paintings with a unique sense of forceful dynamism and divergent dimensionality through his use of colour.
