Leftover Pigment Series
“In the ‘Leftover Pigment’ series, the artist looks at a particular shade of green that covers many interiors across post-Soviet countries. The color, originally produced for painting tanks and military equipment, was repurposed for civil use after the second world war, finding its way in everyday spaces. Covering the hallways of apartment blocks and school buildings, the walls of dormitories and hospitals, the color becomes the background to memories. A mothers embrace and a first kiss are enveloped by this green.
The widespread use of this color and the architectural similarity of apartment buildings in post-soviet countries makes this exploration especially interesting, While the artist's memories are personal, the environment in which they take place isn’t. Reproducing this environment, the stairways painted in green, is to reproduce something collective, a fragment of so much individual but shared experience. Originally used to camouflage military equipment, the paint is transformed into a unifying backdrop to recollection...”
