Candy Shop - Kristi Kongi

Kristi Kongi (1985). “I think all the world has turned into what I’m seeing” (O’Keeffe). Kristi Kongi’s artistic practice is characterised by processuality and affectivity, which manifest in a state of constant movement and in the shifting or dissolution of boundaries. These landscapes from the work, seemingly ablaze, speak to the aesthetics of the Anthropocene, where collective perceptions of both ecological unease and an uncertain sociopolitical situation have become, through the artist’s perceptual world, a reflection of the contemporary world. Kongi’s colour-rich environments are tangible and clearly defined, yet at the same time abstract and indescribable. Chromatic Drift offers an opportunity to lose oneself in a state of full presence.
