"VILIAM SULIK - NAUSEA"
2009-03-06 until 2009-05-30
State Gallery Nitra (CVZV)
Nitra, ,
SK Slovak Republic
On March 06, the State Gallery in Nitra (CVZV Luzianky) will open a solo exhibition of work by the emerging contemporary artist Viliam Sulik. The exhibition will feature acrylic paintings by Sulik, all created in 2008 and 2009. The paintings display his attempt to elaborate a large-scale topic discussing the rational and the emotional in human beings as two intersecting levels. Viliam Sulik promotes his work with a Portfolio at absolutearts.com
Concerned with how craving for power is definitely degrading the essence of any human being or for example whether male¥s weeping is a weakness or an emotional touch, Sulik works exclusivelly with acrylic on canvas. For the project NAUSEA presented at the State Gallery (CVZV Luzianky) in Nitra, the artist borrowed from his own environment to build subtle narratives. In this way, canvas became a medium through which he is trying to capture the bipolarity of a decision, reflect fear or doubt of a human being, questions in which borderline situations is certain behaviour still acceptable or even offers us material goods, which also work as pills healing amnesia.
On view through May 30, NAUSEA is, according to wikipedia "a sensation that there is a need to vomit. It is not a sickness, but rather a symptom of several conditions, many of which are not related to the stomach." He began the project in October of 2008, conceiving of it as an ongoing project which would attempt to capture the personal subject during a particular period of time.
