SCRATCHES ON BURNT CLOUDS

The upcoming exhibition, titled TRILOGY, features 42 works including 25 sculptures, 12 bas-reliefs, 4 installations, and 1 painting on canvas. This body of work is the result of 12 months of effort (from June 2023 to June 2024) on a project that begins with three quasi-episodic segments in an intertwined collection (formal/content), and concludes with a canvas painting.

Episode One: SCRATCHES

These works, approached from a formalist perspective, utilize folds and creases, interwoven layers, and a chaotic, turbulent space. They evoke a period of unrest and crisis that drive the subject matter from alienation to the edge of paranoia. It is as if the subject is in a state of desperation where only the sound of fingernails scraping against their body resonates.

Episode Two: CLOUDS

In these works, the dynamic morphology of the CLOUDS, symbolizing fertility and hope for rain—emerges amidst the whips of folds and distortions, demonstrating resilience and creating imaginary forms. Its active dynamism seeks a way out. Although this dynamism is repeatedly disrupted by splashes of expressive stains, it seems that this interference in the intertextual dynamism between the form of the work and its abstract motifs creates an increasing kinetic dynamism.

Episode Three: THE BURNT

This theme evokes the burning of the realm of human values amidst the conflicts that lead to their destruction in the absence of awareness. This deformation and dissolution of form carries a paradoxical motif of the unconventional and the impossible. It presents a subject trapped in objective confusion by its paranoid and harsh atmosphere, reflecting a crisis of standards and meaning in life.

The final wall of the exhibition stands as a dead-end, featuring a painting where clouds of imagination [mind/time] meet a burnt city [reality/place] with a withered and singular rose [subject/object] in a scene of fallen hopes and dreams (hope/future).

This conclusion, approached with a NEGATIVE perspective, serves as a prelude to a POSITIVE approach, urging the aware mind of the audience to seek a RADICAL MEANING to escape this existential deadlock and to return to a new pathway.
