About this artwork
The Library is part of Interior Of The Mind series that explores the relationship between space, time and memory and is aimed at portraying the experience of forgetting.
All works in the series start as figurative paintings of interiors or exterior spaces. Then layer by layer, like time chipping away at the memories, the details start disappearing. There is an architectural structure - a base of geometric shapes, right angles and perspective on top… of which lies a different realm of subconscious. The still life in the paintings is distorted, broken into pieces and then put back together again with a network of lines that obscure and bend perspective to unveil what's left once we forget.
The paintings leave space for viewer's imagination to join the dots evoking hazy recollection of past memories, of places left behind, visited once and forgotten, blurring the line between familiar and the unknown.

« I investigate the space between the realms of objective reality and individual perception of it. »
Sudbina is an exciting Russian artist whose studies in psychology and linguistics mean she's eternally curious about the workings of the human mind - how it bends reality and reshapes memories. Transferring this into her art, she takes constructivist Russian influences such as Kandinsky and Chagall and creates her own poetic, visual statement.
