Places of SilencePaintings by Asya Dodina, M.F.A '00 and Slava Polishchuk, M.F.A. '02When: Spring 2023 Artists’ Statements Another aspect of the project is depicting the sublime beauty of landscapes surrounding us. Looking at nature brings a balance and hope as well as leads to self-reflection, understanding oneself and one’s responsibility to other people. The project consists of large-scale mixed media paintings on canvases and works on paper. We have chosen paper as the integral material for the series since paper is derived from nature. Its texture and brittleness reflect the amazing vitality and fragility of nature. We applied black acrylic paint on oriental rice paper creating a palette of different hues and then attached small pieces of paper to the canvas the same way as if we would be using paint. Dense layers, lumps of liquid mass soaked in water, monochrome colors, an endless gradation from black to white allows us to create a rich earth like surface for our landscape works. ------------ Based in New York, Asya Dodina and Slava Polishchuk have worked in collaboration since 2003.
