Solo show
Solo show
We are pleased to announce Artem Mirolevich’s
return to McCaig-Welles Gallery with his second solo
show, Global Elements. Mirolevich continues the
theme of his first solo exhibition “Sunken City”, once
again creating an intense, futuristic world entirely
submerged under water.
“Global Elements” explores Mirolevich’s personal
reflections of the micro on macro cosmos and the
consequences of man’s actions on earth. His thoughts
about global warming and the present state of our
environment are expressed in the form of vibrant
colored, large-scale oil paintings and heavily contrasted
with small, intimate etchings.
A futuristic ship resembling floating Babylon towers is a
predominant image throughout “Global Elements” as
Mirolevich continuously and intricately weaves ancient
elements into a futuristic civilization. He takes us on an
intense journey creating a fantastical realm that is
magical and extraordinary, yet ultimately and
undeniably doomed.
