Doug Kinsey at Muskegon Museum of Art |
|
|
|
MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN.- In keeping with its mission of highlighting contemporary art and artists, the Muskegon Museum of Art presents the paintings of Douglas Kinsey. Kinsey works in a very traditional manner, emphasizing the craft and formal disciplines of painting, but chooses subject matter that deals with the struggles and suffering of humanity. Kinsey presents figurative images that reveal injustice, affliction, and insecurity, portraying ambiguities between the beauty of art and the suffering of mankind. Kinsey offers no easy answers, instead challenging the viewer to explore their own inner perceptions and to explore the questions that bring us pain. He notes on his work, “The context is often one of conflict or hardship…each situation suggests a universal desire to survive with integrity…a reminder of a spirit that binds us together.”
Kinsey has shown extensively in solo, group, and juried exhibits, both in the U.S. and abroad, including England, Sweden, and Japan. His work has been handled by galleries in New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Houston, and Chicago. In addition to his career as an artist, Kinsey is a Professor Emeritus of Notre Dame and has also taught at Oberlin College, the University of North Dakota, Berea College in the Appalachian Mountains, and at Kobe College in Japan.
