Profile
Kubisa uses colour in a simple yet strangely complex manner in order to entice the viewer into an instant reaction whilst demanding further viewing through finely detailed colour interactions. The work encompasses visual references (i.e. photographic, digital and observed) and concepts/research into the less visible or obvious. This has led to collaborations with Scientists winning a Leverhulme trust award to research Neuroscience and Liquid Crystals (LCDs).
She is currently working on her 3rd series of forensic style investigations 'Treasure Island: A forensic Investigation of a City' a city-wide project in Portsmouth. 'Treasure Island' is the winner of the Arts + Arts Council of England and SEEDA Final Award 07 for Innovation. Science and Technology sponsored by project Point Source Ltd.
Painting
Working in series and displayed are paintings from Astronomy and Neuroscience research, which led to work that explores personal memories in relation to space and time.
Paintings use oils for their translucency and quality colour experience, and acrylics, resins, glitter, papers and photographs to explore materials.
Drawing
The drawings are recordings of Seran's memories and where that memory exists in the brain coupled with the trigger to that moment of thought. The memories of past family members are put in a context of a universal memory and recycling and rebirth of possibility.
Recent drawing use a mix of graphite, paint, ink, collage, photographs and science paper.
Investigations
Seran's Forensic Investigation's span three major series of work exploring the use of scientific processes to investigate the hidden world of peoples memories and treasured artefacts.
Installations
Installations utilise light, UV, lenses, perspex, pigments and paint. Concepts of these installations places colour beyond it's light existence as we experience it, to realms of existence and inventions of colour in the universe - "the colour laboratory". The first "colour laboratory" installations were in London "Bromley library", Aspex gallery Portsmouth, Mile End Chapel Artspace and Dashwood Gallery London.
