Irina Gabiani
미니멀리즘과 복잡성이 상반되는 것이 아니라 서로를 보완하는 조화를 이루는 작업을 하는 이리나 가비아니가 고안한 ‘미니멀-컴플렉스’의 개념에 따라 새로운 시리즈의 작품들을 선보인다. 단순함을 본질로 하고 불필요한 장식을 거부하는 미니멀 아트는 디테일의 풍부함과 복잡한 구성을 즐기는 작품과 뚜렷한 대조를 이룬다. 하지만 가비아니의 작품은 이 두 가지 접근 방식이 어떻게 조화롭고 흥미로운 방식으로 공존할 수 있는지 보여주고있다.
각 작품은 반복적이고 섬세한 배경 패턴, 그림과 종이 꼴라쥬 등이 빈 단색 공간과 조화롭게 어우러져 있으며, 이 단색 공간은 빈 무대와 같은 시각적 침묵으로 제시된 것뿐만 아니라 생략된 것, 조용히 잊혀진 것에도 주목하게 하며 주변의 복잡성을 강조하는 배경이 된다. 비어 있는 공간과 경계를 이루는 패턴은 풍부하고 세밀하며, 그 복잡함 속을 헤집고 다니도록 시선을 유도한다. 단색 공간은 아직 시작되지 않았거나 막 끝난 공연의 무대 역할을 하는 연극의 배우처럼 무작위적이면서도 신중하게 선택된 듯한 인물, 사물, 모양으로 채워져 있다. 분홍색, 파란색, 녹색, 보라색, 노란색 등 밝은 색상이 각 작품을 감싸며 독특한 개성을 선사하며 각 색은 고유한 감정과 연상을 불러일으킨다. 각 그림의 사물과 인물은 주된 색상을 공유하여 통일감을 주면서 시각적 복잡성을 더하고 있다.
Born 1971, Tbilisi (Georgia), lives and works in Luxembourg.
