Artist Statement for Zoran Poposki
|

|
Abstract painter and digital artist (MFA New Media, Linz, Austria). More than 30 international exhibitions in USA, France, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Austria, Puerto Rico, etc. Featured in TV programs, newspapers and magazines.
DIGITAL ART: My digital prints explore the hidden interconnections between the visual and the written word. Or more specifically, how pictures and narratives are intertwined in the attempt to tell our personal histories, but at the same time they subvert each other, their union sometimes producing unexpected (even ironic) results.
PAINTING: My paintings are paintings of action, energy, passion (“By passion the world is bound, by passion too it is released” – reads the ancient Indian text). Painting as an exaltation of being (direct, immediate, like a lyric poem – an attempt to capture the moment).
Abandoning the chimera of three-dimensionality, the paintings are void of any depth, just as the contemporary world is without depth. The depths of the modern world and its subterranean hallways – the search for meaning – have all become superficial in the contemporary world.
The painting has no hierarchies, no layers. Rather, it spreads over the canvas like a rhizome, mostly on a monochromatic background.
Cracks and margins
Creating contrast through areas of white. White as crevices in the clouds of color, which only intensify the colors. Breathing air into the painting, but also cracks, pauses.
Blue desires
“Every star on my paintings represents a desire”, says Van Gogh. In my work these are the blue dots, which appear in several paintings. Pulsating desires of cobalt blue.
