Limited Edition Print- Kon Trubkovich, Untitled, 2016
New York-based artist Kon Trubkovich mines a combination of found film footage and home movies from his childhood in the USSR to create his paintings and works on paper. Through a process of isolating, fragmenting, and enlarging, Trubkovich has developed a unique visual vocabulary for exploring his own history and more universal aesthetics of memory. He explores themes of rebellion and autonomy in paint- ings, drawings, photographs and sculptures based on still images from videos. His sources evince his preoccupation with incarceration, and include footage from the Attica prison riots, the Stanford prison Experiment, the russian island of Sakhalin, and numerous other clips found on the internet. Kon Trubkovich is represented by Moran Moran in Los Angeles, the United States and he has exhibited at Moran Moran in Los Angeles (10 November 2018 until 22 December 2018) with the exhibition OBJECTS TO IDENTIFY.

While working on the Elvira print at the historical printmaking studio Il Bisonte, Sylvie Auvray surprised the technicians with the imaginative selection of materials and unconventional methods – rather than using the traditional etching pen on copper plate, she used different liquids in order to create imagery. The result was a large shape in the center of the work reminiscent of a ghostly spirit, so she named the print after Elvira –after the local legend of a young beauty who haunts the woods of Villa Lena.

Gently resting on a mattress and wrapped in their bed sheets, Adeline’s “creatures” seem gently kissed by the peeking moonlight, while a grainy grayness invades the darker corners of their “incubedroom”. A window into their quiet intimacy. Adeline De Monseignat’s drawing that inspired this work, is the starting point for an installation that one day will become a reality.

Beatrice Boyle limited edition print celebrates the female figure, reduced to a few simple lines, the colour recalls flesh in flat monochrome. Through a series of abstractions, the figure becomes removed from the original life drawings, paintings and sculptures it derived from – it becomes a symbol, a representation of its simplest form.
