New paintings from "Perceptual Zones" series will be presented at the Draakon Gallery from 20th June till 9th July in Tallinn - European Capital of Culture 2011.
The oil painting series "Perceptual Zones" was started in 2009.
Abstractions of geographic areas accompanied by their factual coordinates depict regions, contemporary states and nations’ territories as an intuitive mental image. Blueprint fragments constitute a distinctive overlay that conveys a subjective information layer. A region may also be transformed to a new form of landscape, referring to the new aspects of perception generated by a collective memory.
Redefining perceptions often depends on an individual stance, causing the series to raise the question: whether the outcome is determined by a political power, the observing individual or other factors?
