Petr Kirušha
Every moment is a fresh beginning
This solo presentation features works that Petr Kirusha (b. 1978, Russia/Latvia) developed during his residency at Dom Art Projects, amid a period of heightened geopolitical tension.
Throughout his time in Dubai, Kirušha documented the landscapes of Al Quoz alongside the larger cityscape. Informed by the intensity of the moment, this series of drawings records both the immediate environment and the psychological atmosphere of the time. These observations later evolved into paintings and works on paper.
Kirušha’s practice reconsiders painting through the conditions of the screen. For the artist, contemporary painting exists in close relation to light, whether in the form of LED backlighting, the red-orange glow of the urban night sky, or the subtle shifts of pixels in low light. He translates this visual instability into moments of stillness, capturing the sense of vibration that hovers at the edge of perception. Working with a post-digital approach to colour, he leaves the white of the paper as active space, akin to a blank screen, and employs a technique that preserve luminosity in the lower layers of paint.
Kirušha has exhibited internationally, including at Manifesta 10 and the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts. At Dom Art Projects, he continues his exploration of painting as a point of convergence between light, technology, and surface.
