Newzones Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new work by Canadian contemporary painter Anda Kubis, Atmospheric Conditions. As part of the New Abstraction movement in Canada, Anda Kubis continues her play with colour, space and illusion. Painterly and improvisational, Kubis’ work continues to capture a screen-like illumination from within the picture with light clusters and refractions across the surface of the canvas. Atmospheric Conditions is a new body of work by Anda Kubis. In these paintings, Kubis creates a complex perceptual experience through colour and spatial relationships. They harken back to the shimmering effects of Impressionist painting—most notably, the use of closely related colour tones that produce visual vibration and illumination. While the blur alludes to digital imagery, the handmade drag of the brush remains apparent. Kubis’ signature circular forms still dominate the compositions, but they are now more loosely rendered and often overlapped, creating spatial ambiguity. These paintings intentionally draw the viewer into a meandering visual experience yet frequently deny the eye a place to rest. Alluding to landscape, clouds, and shifting weather, the works remain resolutely abstract, emerging from an improvisational painting process. Throughout creation, the paintings evolve into visual puzzles—resolved through intense observation and making—to heighten a hypnotic sensation of colour and surface. They take considerable time to complete, shaped by sustained viewing and thoughtful construction. These paintings seduce and unmoor the viewer, inviting them into atmospheres that are both sensual and changeable. Floating, uncertain, and constantly shifting – they’re moments in time. Kubis’ paintings have been widely exhibited across Canada in numerous solo and group exhibitions. Her work can be found in private and corporate collections throughout North America, including Global Affairs Canada, Royal Bank of Canada, NYC, Bank of Montreal, Inter Pipeline, Calgary, Keg Restaurants Ltd., and Nordstrom, to name a few. As a result of a long-standing career, Anda Kubis’ work has been reviewed in Canadian Art Magazine and her paintings are also included in the publication, “Carte Blanche 2: Painting”, printed by Magenta Publishing for the Arts.
