In my art I combine the classical and modern principles and methods of oil painting. I think that all of the techniques (the more, the better) are a path toward creating good art. I don’t look for another way of expression than the stretched white canvas. In this way, I could be called conservative, but working in my own way on the canvas, I consider myself an innovator and a discoverer.

A goal of my work has always been for my personal language of expression to resonate with the viewers, and to leave not only a long lasting impression, but also a sense of spiritual enrichment.

It’s basically impossible for me to define my art. All I can say, is that it carries strong spontaneous energy featuring Abstract Expressionism. My artistic career started in 1990s—the crisis times of Post-Soviet Georgia. Total disorientation of this complicated space greatly inspired me. Through observing the environment I lived in, I used to experiment with different media and forms. It was a big experience. Nowadays, I’m interested in possibilities of art by exploring the resources of painting and texture. The research of various styles, movements, and my artistic practice serve to express blurred threshold between abstract and figurative painting.

Paul Kasmin Gallery presents never before seen works by Hungarian-born artist Simon Hantai. Hantai’s work can be distinguished by his signature technique “pillage,” or folded, tied, and dyed un-stretched canvas. His work  interplays between positive and negative space, resulting in both geometric and botanical patterns. A massive figure in Europe, his work deserves more recognition here in America. Go see this show.
