In Marianna Gioka‘s work sharp graphic elements take place of paint.
The disquieting whirlwind of tense signs, which stand out on an unstressed and smoky background, amounts to the process of a shaping reality. A not yet defined reality, which lets you only prefigure it and gives the exciting shivers of the “ not yet ”, of the open and indeterminate possibility.
Landscape is her new exhibition project at the Rosenfeld Porcini Gallery in London.
The landscapes of the young Greek artist haven’t any geographical aspect. Her overwhelming creative process has thrown the representation of space into disarray and shattered it, so its fragments meander on the surface of her huge paintings, transported by currents and forces released by the collapse of the old spacial order.
A new order emerges with exertion and struggle to arrange pieces of a reality not existing any more.
Gioka’s paintings are complex cosmic systems, whose disquieting dynamics draw the observer into their impetuous currents.
Attracting to themselves with their strong magnetism and pushing the gaze to observe closer and closer, the dense clouds and fluxes vanish, and an infinite set of single signs appears, which are tormented by a dramatic and agitated state of fibrillation.
