My work draws on the techniques and materials of several pictorial disciplines without easily fitting into any one category, featuring elements of drawing, painting, etching, and collage. My influences include Baroque exuberance, Art Deco ornamentation, and Fauvist colour, which are brought to bear on images which recall 20th century lyrical and biomorphic abstraction. The degree of difference can be high from piece to piece, but all my recent work is linked by a predominating sense of undulation. I am fascinated by the mechanics of vision, the sheer physical marvel of sight. While I am wary of overtly assigning meaning, the wave-forms that traverse the surface of my work are, in an oblique way, images of the vibratory operations that underpin light and vision.
Kizi would like to acknowledge Arts Nova Scotia for the making of his current show, "Hidden Fires".
