 February 4 - March 13, 2010 split second images vitamin daily "I am attempting to capture, as painting, the intangible experience of time." - Anda Kubis The series Split Second will be shown during the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada. The essential motivation of the Olympics is an obsession with time - where athletes attempt to beat the clock through sheer human willpower and skill. It is a celebration of the pinnacle of human physical achievement. In response, Kubis' paintings are laden with paint and brush-strokes of pointillist, pixilated colour. No image is apprehensible. All is a blur. She makes direct reference to Impressionist history – when artists like Monet attempted to capture the sense of nature impacted by an industrialized sensibility in his large immersive environments. Kubis employs small surfaces approximately the size of computer screens and flat screen TV's. She is simulating the technological distribution of the Olympic events. Her work captures a sensibility – of human performance measured and disseminated through the abstraction of electronic media. Born in Toronto, Canada, Anda Kubis received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1987 and her Master of Fine Arts from York University in 1992. Her paintings have been widely exhibited across Canada in solo and group exhibitions and her work has been reviewed in Canadian Art Magazine. Anda Kubis is currently the Chair of Painting and Drawing at the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto, Ontario. |
