Jonathan Kopinski’s latest offering Nervous. Solid. Nothing. continues the artist’s exploration into psycho-scenographic imagery. Eschewing overt didactic arcs in favour of fragmentary and often incongruous motifs and images, Kopinski’s compositions present scenes severed from reality, with trace elements of it. The strange blend of visual language across photorealism, abstraction, collage and hand renderings give an initial hint of solid recognition, followed by a nervous apprehension that, although you may feel it, what you are looking at is unknowable, nothing.
