'From A to B and all the places in between' shows most recent works on wood, canvas, and paper. "Ostensibly seductive, the work of Berezovsky can be understood as still life, architectural landscape, but above all as portrait, and as an exterior view of man".
We are pleased to announce the exhibition /From A to B and all the
places in between/ of artist Victor Berezovsky with most recent works on
wood, canvas, and paper.
Berezovsky was born in Wellington, New Zealand, in 1974, and lives and
works in Dresden. He studied painting at the Fine Arts Canterbury
University, New Zealand, from 1991 to 1995.
"Art does not depict what is visible, it makes things visible."
(Paul Klee)
"Ostensibly seductive, the work of Berezovsky can be understood as still
life, architectural landscape, but above all as portrait, and as an
exterior view of man.
However, the pictorial objects soon prove to be arranged not by virtue
of their concrete basis. They operate with the sensuous presence of
their painterly composition on the level of symbolic significance.
The outcome of their pictorial, metaphors, full of surreal appeal, uses
the simplest, archaic, and demotic elements together with a complex
metalanguage in a virtuoso combination of ingenious constructions and
laboratory processes.
The selective dislocations of color and format serve as augurs of
meaning in the narrative of interior visualisation.
The surreal, psychologising pictures of the real self in the works of
Berezovsky draw the observer closer to their specificity. These
painterly appraisals of existence carried out here are in truth images
of thinking about thinking, images of the conditions and limits of
thinking about thinking processes, and their resulting (fatal) real
effects.
These works are narratives and reports at the same time, not of the
reality or irreality of things, but, in fact, of the (self-)generation
of realities.
Berezovsky's work is a brilliant, voluptuously inviting, congenial
artistic contribution to the current philosophical discussion on the
tensions in observations of the second and third orders."
