Artist Statement for Gligor Stefanov
|
|
|
The work of interventions, installations, and objects are site-specific and many of them do not exist any more. Visual documentation through photographs communicates the finished work on site and often the process as well.
The used materials are exclusively natural (straw, mud, grass, hay, pine needle, cotton, wood) as an attempt to analyze their features in their pure state of existence (structure, color, smell, texture, warmth).
Work divided in cycles where the themes were a “vehicle” of exploration, starting points and possibilities for research.
In the early, cycle of “linear interventions”, the material as the dominant element of value replaced by space in order to mould it into a living organism – a new biological environment.
The cycle of “angels” demonstrated the intention to enter metaphysical sphere. Those winged objects move within the sphere of the accumulation of natural material and energy with spiritual energy inside it.
My work currently focuses on a variety of building nest structures, where egg becomes for a moment the center of the entire universe, the evidence of a cosmic situation.
Every peace of art is a story of rhythms, tensions, conflicts, meditations and prayers. Each line of straw, in the dynamic and linearity of the each stroke and touch of the materials is a dramatic act that defines, dissolves and renews perception about the relation between nature and spirituality, temporality and permanence.
