Zhenya Gershman

Take the journey through my paintings exploring the terrain of the soul. I merge traditional oil painting with unorthodox sculpture technique application. Experimenting with ceramic tools allows me to literally carve out the material and physically engrave into the body of paint. As a result, a sculptural painting—a hybrid form of art is developed stimulating the viewer to experience two-dimensional art in a surprisingly tactile and phenomenological way. This technique facilitates a kind of psychological archaeology in portraiture, challenging the core of a viewer’s perception of the very border separating what we call our reality and that of art.
