Vertical gravity solo show by Vicky Kylander features recent canvasses and works on paper that examine the possibility of expansion in limited spaces
About
Vertical gravity by Vicky Kylander (b 1971 Sweden) features recent canvasses and works on paper that examine the possibility of expansion in limited spaces; the rooms of confinement, of imposed or self-imposed restriction, are “rooms of justice” (Louis Aragon), where we discover our measure and where we create our own outs.
Ms Kylander defines herself as a “highly influenceable and undisciplined” painter who is fundamentally inspired by the world of form, including the work of uncountable artists throughout the history and present of art, as well as urban and natural landscape, comics, fashion, typography, languages and accents... among others. While the unconscious mind processes, or composts, all these external stimuli, the artist explores the pure pictorial form that encompasses the now and merges object and subject.
Close to improvisation-based arts, and especially influenced by jazz and electronic music, Kylander’s work is radically experimental and spontaneous, a place where conception and action take place simultaneously.
