Evgenia Emets

Time Pressure, 2018, hand embossing on white, and on black acid-free paper, 76 x 56 cm, 76 x 56 cm 

Preço: €1700, €1700

A project exploring the nature of time and its perception in the modern world and through history. 

A series of limited-edition handmade embossed/debossed prints on paper, based on calligraphy drawing. These works play with light. The embossed artwork has a slight elevation. The work can be installed with or without a dedicated light source. The title of the series reflects the conceptual approach to the process of making the artwork - physical pressure applied by hand while pressing the paper.

Time Pressure is created as a diptych - on white and black paper. They can be exhibited as one or two separate artworks.

Gift of your Heart, 2019, watercolor on acid-free, cotton paper, 56 x 76,5 cm

Preço: €1300

Calligraphy artwork, based on a poem Gift of your Heart. It uses the main phrase of the poem to focus the impression of the whole poem, its contents, and its meaning. Like with many of my calligraphy works there exist different versions of the same artwork, but each of them is unique and numbered.

Forest Codex

I soar between 

Ridges of mountains

Vast expanse

Valley after valley

Streams come down 

From all directions

Unstoppable flow

Meandering

Eternal Forest

Everything is motion

My gaze connects all

My ears hear 

Continuity of sound

Life is never quiet

Beyond time

I see no borders

Every living being

Is essential

The future is mutual

We must imagine 

1000 years

It is a slow turning

Cria obras sobre a interseção de poesia sonora e visual através de livros de artista, caligrafia, performance, objetos e arte ecológica. Eternal Forest é um projeto de arte em curso, que começou em 2018, marcando uma transição para a integração do pensamento ecológico na sua arte.
