Jerry Zeniuk

Born : 1945Documented citizenships : United States

Jerry Zeniuk’s painting explores the relationships between colours and space: his compositions move from layered monochromatic surfaces to arrangements of contrasting planes, and then to canvases in which circles, dots or coloured forms organise chromatic interactions. For the artist, colour carries an emotional charge, and its interactions can also evoke social and human relationships. Born in 1945 in Bardowick, Germany, into a family of Ukrainian refugees, he emigrated with his parents to the United States in 1950 and grew up in Colorado.

After his studies, he settled in New York, where he presented his first solo exhibition at the Paley & Lowe gallery in 1972. He then took part in Fundamental Painting at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam in 1975, followed by Documenta 6 in Kassel in 1977. From 1992 to 2010, he taught at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich.

In 2013–2014, the Museum Wiesbaden dedicated Not for Your Living Room to him, an exhibition focused in particular on his large-scale canvases.
