Exploration of the New possibilities - Tuning in

My recent work has been inspired by the ongoing exploration of the Harmony and Chaos.

The 'Series -homage to Plato' is drawn from the idea of the Platonic Cave, describing what is necessary for us to achieve reflective understanding. But even without it, it remains true that our very ability to think and to speak depends on the Forms. 

For the terms of the language we use to get their meaning by “naming” the Forms that the objects we perceive participate in. Ultimately, we are unable to escape or see the higher illusionary reality...

The intuitive Drawings as a process of connecting with the inner energy in the body and the outer, so to speak, orchestration of the universal interconnecting energy, provide the possibility for unlimited re-creation, re-construction of the abstract non objectified dimension ...


Computer manipulated drawing and photography provide a realm for recreation of the new rules, which can be discovered by tuning in to alignment with who we really are...

                                                                   (orchestrated) world, Studio Voltaire, 2012

This is the footage for the newest experimentation with post-object video based on existing and superimposed  object.

The work is based on constructed objects/sculpture and become prompted by the necessity to work with geometry, pure form and ongoing 'investigation' or rather  improvisation based on unconscious references to modernist aesthetics...

Blackness or rather visual silence is a comment on/homage to Malevich's  Black Square conjoined with a purity of Beethoven's Symphony no 3  .. and it is providing a platform for critical and fleeting moments of desirability and fixation on the objects..

Work is designed to be exhibited as a wall projection...

Constructing the New Order

The second week of my work became more settled , I gradually started using materials I chose in the first week to have a good process of figuring out/ putting elements together in the new order….  My work seems to be very controlled in many cases. But this control is derived from utopian aspiration to Harmony and balance…

The first series of work I called ‘The New Eldorado’ as a reference to pop culture and the myth built around the golden age of prosperity. Golden plastic lid, purity of blue, orange and White… Colour is another indication of unifying and enabling symbiosis within the object.  I was also experimenting with already existing natural ‘presupposition’ of brought objects. I use them in assemblages, mini- installation, Solaris, with mirrors, metal bars, round shapes of the records, lampshades…

The elements are assembled and constructed in a particular way, they may resemble maquette of the city, dysfunctional furniture or imaginary design subliminally referencing modernism, Post-Duchampian tradition of ready-made, interior design of Bauhaus and domesticity…the references are endless, the objects are open like a text for further interpretation…The Game is never-ceasing, established rules of having limitation within plurality was a great experiment…

At the end of the week I was tempted to create ironic harmony, merely maintaining a balance within the assembled objects. Orange mini columns, reminiscent of negative furniture, are fragilly supporting each other balancing on the red string…
The process of creating my work was so similar to the process of my usual art practice. I found the project relieving and inspiring.  Also I had a chance to collaborate/ or rather interact not only with fellow artists ( Nicola Dale, Jason Tylor, Andy Parker), but also with enthusiastic audience.
