Anna Kiparis, Tatiana Fetisova, and Olga Bonitas in the exhibition Through Her Eyes
The Kult Talk hosts the exhibition Through Her Eyes, featuring three artists whose work is informed by lived experience and expressed in individual visual languages. The exhibition explores the translation of lived experience: motherhood, play, and the search for inner harmony – into visual language, color, and symbolization in a nuanced exploration of the self in the present day.
Anna Kiparis‘ painting style can be described as a system of play. In her works like The Piece, Panopticon and Carousel, and Carousel, Anna Kiparis creates her own framework using elements of games like chess, cards, and circular movements. The cow is an element that can be found in all of Anna Kiparis’ works, both as an element that participates in the game and as an element that observes the game.
Tatiana Fetisova‘s style can be described as “balloonized realism.” In her works like Balancing and Chasing the Air, Tatiana combines elements of figurative painting with elements of inflated objects that serve both as metaphors for vision and emotion.
Works by Olga Bonitas are included in the exhibition from her series Watching Them Grow in watercolour: Tree Adventure, High up above and Not Just a Tree. Informed by the lived experience of motherhood, Bonitas’s work addresses the often-unnecessary tension between creative practice and motherhood. The works are created in a fragile but direct manner to prioritize the lived experience of motherhood from the margins to the center of creative practice.
The artists’ works can be described as three perspectives that connect with each other in terms of perception and experience. The artists’ works in this exhibition encourage viewers to look at the ways in which personal realities are constructed, negotiated, and re-imagined in contemporary art.
