Journey into an ‘unseen world’ as Kinsella’s abstract portraits and sculptures peel back the layers of the conscious, unveiling the core of individual psychology through ‘fleshless portraiture’. Each artwork, a confluence of colourful geometric forms, reveals the distinct intricacies of personality and the subconscious self, marking an evolution in Kinsella’s artistic odyssey.
In this exhibition, Kinsella elevates his visual language by presenting a centrepiece of a full body figure, expanding the narrative capacity of his work beyond the conventional three-quarter length portraits. His fusion of three-dimensional artworks with canvas creations challenges the conventional bounds of psychological portraiture, probing the genuine representation of individuals in two-dimensional space. This exploration resonates with the pervasive conundrum of authenticity in our digital age, delving into the dichotomy of outward appearances and inner essence.
‘Anatomy of the Radiant Mind’ embarks on a voyage into the profound universe of dreams and imagination, transcending the superficial allure of physical appearances prevalent in our social media-driven era. Kinsella’s abstract representation ventures to unveil the authentic self beneath the facade, offering a fresh perspective on selfhood and individuality.
Embracing a hybrid visual language, the artworks in this exhibition traverse the continuum between pre- and post-internet painting, bridging historical portraiture with modern digital self-expression. This time, Kinsella pivots from digital assets to celebrate the tangible essence of brushes and paint, particularly the enriching potential of oil as a medium.
As Kinsella pushes the boundaries of his visual language in ‘Anatomy of the Radiant Mind’, he delves deeper technically to explore the unconscious mind’s abyss. His intuitive portraits, conceived in a stream of consciousness, blur the lines between past and present, digital and analogue, two and three dimensions. Through this visual exploration, Kinsella aspires to diminish the distance between the viewer and the artwork, forging a closer connection amidst the abstraction and the reality. Join us in traversing this captivating journey of self-discovery and artistic exploration at Unit London.
