Blending abstraction and portraiture, Kurt Kreissl is a painter whose work focuses on organic form and fluid movement. His art practice examines the space between emergence and drift, choosing moments to seize, develop, and relay. These paintings reflect senses from the ephemeral world of change and refract them into our own: light becoming breath; response becoming sensuality; physicality becoming spiritual ecstasy. Kreissl explores the properties of sensate life in mixed media: oil & acrylic paint, graphite, and digital. Kreissl was raised across the United States, finally settling in Chicago, IL where he earned a BFA from DePaul University specializing in graphic design. During this time, he honed his artistic talent discerning his passion for painting, both in acrylic and oil. Since graduation, he has been doing primarily commission works for private clients and collectors. In addition, Kreissl has been a part of various group and juried exhibitions.
