An exhibition of abstract paintings by interdisciplinary British artist Kimbal Quist Bumstead
About
“Inner Landscapes” at Galerie De Stoker, Amsterdam, is the first solo exhibition by interdisciplinary British artist Kimbal Quist Bumstead. It posits the idea of a landscape as a visceral internal space, which embodies emotional experiences. Kimbal’s works are maps of those experiences, internal dialogues, the relationship between himself and others, and between him and the work itself. His abstract paintings and drawings stem from his research into interactive performance, and a process of using mark making as a way of capturing what is unseen but can be felt. Kimbal’s work is cathartic, explosive and colourful, navigating a path between harmony and chaos; spontaneity and control.
