STILL LIFE MOSCOW / PAINTINGS 2007-2009

“Moscow: the most recent site. Cold spaces and very immediate, sometimes even palpably close, physically modeled clouds and walls with decorative ornamentation, blind, walled up windows. Yet the stern, monotonous architecture is livened up by colour: the robust red of Russian buildings, and the more greyish blue shades striking up a contrast.”- Krisztina Passuth

“Moscow today, it says, this is what it boils down to. The quintessence of the work. No dreams, fantasies, illusions attached. No visions—either good or bad—are born from the buildings. A single exception permitting: the clouds that barge in, as it were, ‘roll’ through the multiple window-frames into the inner world behind the frame. Otherwise there is virtually nothing that relaxes the artist’s objectivity, or releases her fantasy.” – Krisztina Passuth
