Relief Paintings
Essay
This is where the studio began. Before George, before matryoshkas and churches there were the fold, the metal and the light: crumpled foil, gold, mirror discs, a red crushed volume, a blue circle. No subject — only matter assembled by hand, and a wall that answers it. These are st.Aura's first relief paintings, and they are still its purest formula.
In the series you can see that formula being searched for. Folds taken from cloth and flooded with gold. Mirror suns in which the room is reflected in pieces. Crumpled metal that holds light like water. Abstract volumes where red is simply red. There is no icon and no emblem here, and so the main thing shows: how the studio works with volume and light when it has nothing to tell.
Relief on artboard from crumpled foil and textile folds fixed with ground; leaf gold and metallised coatings; mirror inserts; pigments; epoxy resin, which preserves the fold for good. The edition is numbered.
A series for a loft, an office, a living room with contemporary furniture, for interiors without a subject. Relief Paintings are works for those who want light on the wall rather than a story.
