Lindsey Kustusch, 1982 | Abstract painter

Lindsey Kustusch is an oil painter based out of the San Francisco Bay Area and has been exhibiting her work nationwide since 2009.

She recently began teaching classes and workshops at Sadie Valerie Atelier in San Francisco.

Kustusch is captivated by the power of art and how a single painting can profoundly change the way we perceive our surroundings.

She finds beauty in the ordinary, believing that everyday things can gain extraordinary allure when experienced through someone else’s eyes.

Whether it’s the grit of urban life, the rich diversity of plants and animals, or anything in between, she views art as a means to see the world anew—from both the artist’s and the viewer’s perspective.

Lindsey Kustusch: - "I am an oil painter based out of the San Francisco Bay Area.

My ambition is to try and capture the fleeting moments in life using this medium as an opportunity to see the world with a more interesting and colorful perspective.

To stay present and aware by seeing the extraordinary in the mundane, challenging the insignificant versus the significant, and at the end of the day creating a deeper connection with the world around me".

Living in a densely populated, bustling, urban environment has had a tremendous influence on the development of my work.

Every day I bring something unexpected back to the studio, fueling the exploration of new ideas, tools and techniques, while continuously questioning how, what and why to paint.

Just as my subjects and use of pigment are ever-evolving, so is the reason to create something in the first place. And the further I explore, the clearer it's become....

To see the things I might have missed, to preserve and remember the moments that will never return, and to encourage others to do the same...

Because ALL of it is important... The quiet, the chaotic, the unremarkable, the extraordinary, the marvels of nature, the day to day things, etc...

All of it is life, and all of it is significant. It's just all in how we look at it".

Lindsey Kustusch è una pittrice petrolifera contemporanea Americana che trasforma sia paesaggi urbani atmosferici che ritratti dettagliati della fauna selvatica in narrazioni visive riccamente strutturate.

Stabilendo la sua carriera professionale nel 2009, Kustusch utilizza un'innovativa tecnica di pittura a strati che combina lavaggi semi-trasparenti rispetto ai sottodipinti metodici, utilizzando strumenti non convenzionali tra cui blocchi di stampa in gomma e reperti del negozio di ferramenta per creare effetti strutturali distintivi.

Il suo portafoglio di opere d'arte si estende su paesaggi urbani lunatici a studi intimi su uccelli e farfalle, mostrando la sua capacità unica di catturare momenti fugaci nella natura e negli ambienti cittadini.

I dipinti ad olio rappresentativi di Kustusch invitano gli spettatori a scoprire qualità straordinarie nelle scene quotidiane, riflettendo il suo impegno artistico nel preservare i momenti effimeri ed incoraggiando una più profonda osservazione del nostro ambiente.

I suoi successi creativi includono il riconoscimento in pubblicazioni artistiche di spicco come Fine Art Connoisseur, Southwest Art Magazine, American Art Collector, Plein Air Magazine, Hi-Fructose e Juxtapoz.

Attualmente con sede a Salem, Oregon, Kustusch continua a sviluppare il suo approccio distintivo per catturare il significativo all'interno del mondano apparentemente.
