FIELDS

31 Март 2017 - 23 Април 2017

Inspired by the autumn stubble-fields, Elena Yanevska’s work Fields represents a sculptural installation which takes most of the space in Vaska Emanouilova Gallery.

The artist experiments with the surroundings and with the traditional approach to the sculptural form. She does not exhibit individual objects but rather unfolds her work into the space thereby imparting the sense of infinity. Where the fields of charcoal and wooden pegs begin or end is indefinable, they combine materials with diverse properties, and the work is both fragmentary and austere.

The young artist continues the Bulgarian artistic tradition of working with natural materials and thinking of nature in terms of a harmonious relationship with the human world. The natural is that cosmic dimension which sets the rhythm, cycle and authenticity of living.

 Elena Yanevska (b. 1985) lives and works in Sofia. In 2010 she earned a master’s degree in Sculpture at the National Academy of Art, in the class of Associate Professor Tsvetoslav Hristov – Tsupi.
