Gerth Kuusk

Artist is based in: Estonia

Gerth Kuusk is a self-taught artist without a degree in painting who works as a designer on a daily basis. The first experiments with classical painting were born in 2012, after which the artist’s ambition and artistic deepening have continued to grow. In 2015, he graduated from the advanced training in classical painting at the EKA Open Academy, and in 2019 he graduated from Tallinn University’s Haapsalu College, majoring in craft technologies and design. Kuusk puts a central place in his work on a person and his relationship with an abstract and occasionally metaphysical environment that reflects the states of the inner world. Kuusk has participated in several auctions of young art and participated in annual exhibitions of painters in Pärnu and Tallinn. In April 2024, the first solo exhibition was held at ArtDepoo. In the case of the latter, Kuusk also included his young children in the creative process, who, as co-authors of the works, helped bring a carefree treatment of color and form to the paintings.
