The paintings of Vadim Keshersky aspire to reveal the hidden psychology of human beings, bringing to light the levels of the mind concealed in daily life. Employing mixed media, the artist experiments with style and technique throughout his oeuvre in a process that values both technique and innovation. Keshersky names Rembrandt and Chagall as his influences, and elements of these masters’ impressionistic and realistic styles appear throughout his work. In turns both naturalistic and abstract, these works explore the range of human emotions and transient nature of our moods and mentalities. Compelled by the contrast between the beauty of the natural world and the more unpleasant aspects of human society, Keshersky seeks to evoke the mobility and the depth of the emotions, feelings and thoughts experienced by all human beings. In this sense, the figures are not static representations, but rather naturalistic portrayals – undergoing constant processes of evolution and change.
Vadim Keshersky was born in Russia. In 1992 he moved to Israel, where he currently lives and works.
