Brian Kershisnik is the most uncommon of artists. In a culture that applauds the new, the shocking and the transient, Kershisnik focuses his rare talent on central and enduring human values. In the tiny town of Kanosh, Utah, an isolated community of fewer than two hundred families, he paints profoundly moving images of people in the quiet but important moments of their lives.
Kershisnik: Painting From Life features 100 of the artist's paintings in large-format, full-color reproductions. Two exceptional authors provide commentary for each piece. Leslie Norris describes Kershisnik and his work, revealing the thought and effort behind each piece, while Mark Magleby presents a "portrait of the artist." Magleby is a keen interpreter of Kershisnik's work. As he has written, "The paintings of Brian Kershisnik offer insight into a personal space echoing our own experience -- a landscape where life's vicissitudes sometimes delay our well-meaning ambitions."
