Broad, watercolor-like brushstrokes make a graphic statement in Ksenia Sizaya's "Essai." As the artist explains, "I test paints and pastels on the walls and floors sometimes to see how they will look. Sometimes these tests and sketches become inspiration for artwork themselves." An abstract field splashed with bright colors, Sizaya leaves the work open to interpretation. CB2 exclusive.
