About Marina Chisty
Marina Chisty is a Russian-born artist living and working in New York. She is known for her abstract art, mainly dedicated to the themes of transformation and impermanence. Influenced by New Materialism and Eastern philosophy, Chisty has developed a unique process-oriented painting approach, which can be traced in many of her works.
Marina Chisty also pays much attention to the agency of materials and uses experimental drawing techniques in her art. Her primary working materials are water, pigment, acrylic, and charcoal. In her paintings, the artist explores geological forms and eroded surfaces to offer an auteur vision of fragile natural balance between fluidity and form.
Deciphering the Deep Meanings of “Fragments of Now”
The majority of paintings digitalized and presented in the “Fragments of Now” exhibition follow Marina Chisty’s mainstream style and themes. Viewers can embrace her 2024 painting, Collapse, and reflect upon the natural flow of time and transformation when viewing her 2025 work titled What Was, What is, What Lingers. These and other paintings presented at the exhibition give viewers a deeper glance at Chisty’s creative process that respects the uncertainty and instability of natural processes instead of resisting or stabilizing them.
Marina Chisty welcomes all proponents of contemporary Abstractionism to her black-and-white liminal space between the personal and the universal. By working with micro and macro scales, the artist explores the fluid, unstable natural transformations that shape the world around us. Visit “Fragments of Now” to explore Chisty’s creative images of erosion and examine her metaphors of becoming through intricate and patient collaborations with matter.
