140 x 90 cm (55" x 35"), acrylic on canvas, sides painted black. No varnish (varnish on request), signed on the back (top right corner). Brass plate on the left bottom side. Framed in american box, black wooden frame. "Blinkered – having or showing a narrow or limited outlook” Blinkered is a section of the world seen through a photographic lens and translated into the language of abstract painting. Author invites us to engage in aesthetic vivisection of the work and to inspect the hidden details on the surface. It has the effect of dualistic perception where large-format images draw the attention as close to the detail as possible. The “Blinkered” landscapes are heterogeneous, but at the same time distinctive scrap of space has been narrowed down to just a few pixels, and then magnified to a large-format image. The figurative is therefore reduced to its basic and most crucial formal essence.
