Exhibition
IVO BISTRICHKI
MELANCHOLY
5 – 20 March, 2015

“Dead nature. State of silence, forgetfulness, predetermination of the circumstances and loneliness. Pieces of time with their own sense of light, time periods when the light goes dark.

Grey still lifes. Objects without clear inheritance, without obligations to the past, present to express a certain feeling. Residues of a heritage, household items, unnecessary things, a dinner about to be eaten”.

Ivo Bistrichki
