Isack Kousnsky Studio

History

Isack Kousnsky was born in Haifa, Israel in 1950s. Early experiences in Israel are at the core of Kousnsky's artistic outlook. Isack fashions transcendent images of nature and fantastic views of the city meant to jolt us out of our frenzied, urban routines. He employs an array of abstract compositional strategies that play with the viewer's perception of pictorial space. In the looming, mirrored compositions of his oceanscapes, we are presented with the very image of infinity. In his flower pictures, we are left to wander through all-over compositions of blossoms and branches. There is also a bit of whimsy in Kousnsky's nature photographs. Unexpected colors might disrupt an otherwise naturalistic landscape or natural forms might cluster into suggestive shapes, stimulating the viewer's imagination.
