About

日本語

ウステインス ドヴィンスキスは、神奈川県を拠点に活動するラトビア出身のアーティストです。抽象絵画を通じて、個人の経験、歴史の変化、そして物質の変容が交差する場を探求しています。重層的な画面や変容の痕跡を手がかりに、個人の生と大きな時の流れとの関係を描き出します。

ウスティンスは、色彩の領域と領域のあいだに生まれる境界に関心を寄せている。彼は明確な境界線を避け、色が互いに重なり合い、溶け合い、流れ込むような表現を好む。明快な幾何学的形態に頼るのではなく、移ろいと曖昧さを探求している。

また、透明な層と質感豊かな表面との対比にも強く惹かれている。制作の過程では、予期せぬ結果を求め、作品を何度も描き直しながら、混沌と、かろうじて保たれた秩序とのあいだの均衡を探り続ける。

境界のない境界を探し求めることは、やがてひとつの儀式となる。色彩が醸し出す雰囲気は記憶を呼び覚ます。彼は何度も何度も、素材が生き始め、語り始め、飛び立ち、燃え上がり、自らの生命を宿す、その瞬間を見つけようとしている。

Ustins Dvinskis is a Latvian artist based in Kanagawa, Japan. Through abstract painting, he explores the intersections of personal experience, historical change, and the transformation of materials. Using layered surfaces and traces of transformation as his visual language, he examines the relationship between individual lives and the broader flow of time.

Ustins is interested in the boundaries between colour fields. He avoids strict borders, preferring colours to overlap, dissolve into one another, or flow together. Rather than relying on clear geometric forms, he seeks transitions and ambiguity.

He is drawn to the contrast between transparent layers and textured surfaces. In his process, he searches for unexpected outcomes, often repainting a work many times while balancing between chaos and a fragile sense of order.

The search for the unbounded boundary becomes a ritual. The mood of colour invites memory. Again and again, he tries to find the moment when the materials begin to live, speak, fly, burn, or take on a life of their own.
