Silver Interior 2019
“Silver Interior”
100/90 cm
acrylic/golden leaf/canvas
part of the exhibition: “Imaginary Constructions”
“The imaginary constructions are places that I have seen live and that has settled deep within my subconscious. Now, they are awaking and rising to the surface so they could slide over the canvases. Shining bright and ready to devour every color, stifle it, or breathe life into it.
To this binary materialization, I also added precious metals. They are not real, but their presence is eloquently convincing. At the same time glossy, but also a delusively unreal background to the constructions.
The exhibition is built up of landscapes and architectural collaborations between interior and exterior spaces. The sweet challenge I faced was to build a space on the base of these shiny sheets, a space that evokes a home.”
