FOLDING VOID

Galerie Gilla Loercher is delighted to open its new gallery space in Berlin-Charlottenburg with a solo exhibition by Bulgarian artist Yoana Tuzharova.
The concrete works on display revolve around the perception of color, light and space.
The title of the exhibition, FOLDING VOID, refers metaphorically to the idea of being able to subtly shape or transform emptiness or nothingness. By applying light to the image carrier and thus merging the art of forming with the art of painting, Yoana Tuzharova dissolves or blurs the boundaries between the media.

Please note:
4 May 16:00: Artist Talk with Yoana Tuzharova and Wilko Austermann (Museum gegenstandsfreier Kunst) at the gallery.
Please join us for this event. The talk will be only in German language.

The exhibition FOLDING VOID reflects the multifaceted interaction of light and color as a medium and invites viewers to actively engage with the themes of transformation, perception and painting as an object. Yoana Tuzharova thus creates an immersive experience that encourages the viewer to think beyond the limitations of conventional painting techniques and explore new ways of seeing in an increasingly technologized world.

"In her light installations, Yoana Tuzharova (born 1986) plays with the boundaries of perception of color, light and space. Tuzharova's superimposition of surfaces in the image cites a sculptural approach, while the monochromatic color surfaces and colored light of her installations retain a painterly character," writes Maren Klinkhammer (Insel Hombroich Foundation) about the artist's work.

The opening takes place on 15 March from 18:00-21:00.
