Denitsa Todorova
Image at the Edge of Matter
solo exhibition
March 15 - May 19, 2024
Opening: March 15, Friday, 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., in the presence of the artist
Sarieva/Gallery, Plovdiv
40, Otets Paisiy str., Plovdiv, Bulgaria
Visiting hours: Wednesday – Sunday, 2:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.
Sarieva/Gallery, Plovdiv presents the solo show Image on the Edge of Matter by Antwerp based Bulgarian artist Denitsa Todorova. Her delicate monochrome works produce astonishment with their emotional charge that forestalls the perception of the image itself. It is generated in the almost performative process of their creation – a process where precision and play coexist in symbiosis just as seduction and rejection would. The creative process is extremely energetic, pedantic and continuous.
The author draws inspiration from everyday phenomena, textures, forms and models like water surfaces, reflections, marble structures and firework blasts. These are frivolous effects rather than static scenes. Random, seemingly meaningless details that nonetheless constitute the fabric of reality. Pieter Vermeulen calls them „the noise of materiality“ and adds: „It is often these little things that grant the world its unmistakable character: the crackling of a vinyl record, the throatiness of a voice, the grain of a photograph.” In this sense, although formally possessing such distinguishing marks, Denitsa Todorova’s work does not strike as “abstract” in the literal sense of the term. Her hypersensitivity recalls familiar images, the soft outlines symbolize nature and landscapes, on the surface emerge barely perceptible brightly colored spots which the author self-ironically defines as candy.
