Ah man, i love these! Visually like a Cy Twombly of text with the pallete choice sophistication of Luc Tuymans. Such a beautiful intricate execution of a font that would sit right in a David Shrigley satire. Someone buy me one please!

First glance. An explosion, shrapnel, delicate. Then there are layers, organic versus manmade, visually working together with fierce power, their journeys parallel yet not necessarily in the same direction. Elements of control and order are evident within small geometric blocks of colour. These fantastic artworks evoke feelings of panic and amazement in equal measures, highlighting the speed in which our world is moving, how fast our cities develop architecturally, the speed in which we reshape our natural landscapes to accommodate our new infrastructures and communities. The paintings are wild and beautiful, as easy to get lost in as our very own concrete jungles.

I admire the artist who can have fun and infantilise their painting style. It takes a lot of guts to put it out there, where critics may love you, but the everyday spectator may grumble, complaining that their children could do better aged 3. Pliss combines this celebration of paint with the subject matter its self. Loud, active people, making the most of their voice, creating excitement and party time. I want to be in these paintings, I would feel tribalistic, hedonistic, colourful and vibrant, full of youth and fight. The text in the paintings are not precise and stylised, but fast and furious. The raw primary pallete of colour lends well to direct its energy to the viewer. A more complex array of colour may have diluted and disguised the powerful force behind the paintings acting as an oppressor. 

There is no escaping that the work is evocative of the Neo-Expressionist style that Basquiat was famous for. I feel blessed that there are contemporaries that can execute this style so well, long may it live!

Anna Pliss was born in Soviet Russia and is currently based in Moscow. She studied design and contemporary art in school and works as both an artist and an interior designer.
