INTERNATIONAL ART EXHIBITION "FRESH LEGS" - GALLERY HEIKE ARNDT - BERLIN

"In watercolour, Kusmuk portrays deaf individuals stuck in a bichromatic reality. Depictions of hands demonstrate the ultimate tangible means of comprehending the beating outside world, while a colourful, busy universe is held within themselves. The humans Marko paints, although never alone, appear to gaze past each other and seem strangely detached. Immersed in their own microcosm, their bodies become fragmented shells. But they still contain liveliness that outshines the empty void left by the silence around them. Kusmuk’s work  invites contemplation of the human condition. He allows viewers to question the relation to their direct surroundings and themselves, as well as becoming aware of focus and fragmentation of their perception. ."
