J. Kesin is a contemporary German artist. J. Kesin's artistic journey is a captivating odyssey through the corridors of his singular perception of the world. His body of work is a mesmerizing kaleidoscope, where a rich tapestry of subjects comes to life through his adept use of color, form, and texture on the canvas.

Kesin's artistic palette is broad and diverse, encompassing everything from deeply personal autobiographical reflections to thought-provoking sociocultural musings, and from abstract concepts to universal themes. What sets his art apart is his remarkable ability to deconstruct and reconstruct these subjects, creating an intricate interplay of visual elements that engage and enthrall the viewer.

Influenced by a rich tapestry of artistic movements, Kesin draws inspiration from early abstraction, cubism, and constructivism. These influences converge and dance with the concept of simultaneity and Hodgkin's associative abstraction, infusing his paintings with a unique and captivating fusion of ideas and aesthetics.

Kesin's life has been marked by a tireless spirit of exploration and discovery. Born in Germany, he embarked on a journey that took him to the United Kingdom, Spain, and far-flung destinations like Russia and Uzbekistan. Along the way, he engaged in self-taught artistic studies, which laid the foundation for his artistic pursuits. His academic journey further enriched his perspective, as he earned a degree in cultural studies, providing him with a deeper understanding of the sociocultural forces that shape our world. Crucially, Kesin's artistic development was further nurtured under the guidance of the renowned lecturer and artist, Sibylle Werkmeister. This mentorship refined his artistic sensibilities and equipped him with the skills and insights necessary to refine his craft.
