GT 613
BT 1, BT 2, BT 3, BT 4, BS1 and ST 2
In terms of subject matter, the series of paintings exhibited as GT 613 deals with the quest for planetary systems and planets similar to Earth. Ever since the dawn of civilization, man has been discovering and exploring new terrestrial spaces, establishing and creating habitable environments, and since the beginning of the 21st century increasingly often seeking new extra-terrestrial places that could be ideal for biological life. There seem to be no end to the range of expeditions and the desire for new discoveries, for new areas – be it physical or thematic – tend to pique the inspiring curiosity of an individual and the society which keeps putting the possibilities of unfolding unknown worlds in motion again and again.
The exhibited works provide an artistic view of the recent discoveries of constellations in space; by transforming artistic elements and images into three-dimensionally perceptible structures of circumferences, circles and abstract interspaces, the author simulates at times celestial bodies, at other times the movement and levitation of bodies in space.
The latter is depicted in some circular paintings on wood such as BT 1, BT 2, BT 3, BT 4, BS1 and ST 2: the representations of bodies spinning on their axes and of the circular orbits of other bodies in artistic compositions outline abstract interspaces, which the author had already been exploring in his previous series.
