Gallery Portal11 presents personal exhibition of Igor Paliy “Harbinger of Change”. 25.03.23 – 23.04.23.
One of the artworks also has the name “Harbinger of change…”. Obviously, changes are an integral part of life. But the artist’s philosophy is much deeper. In his artworks he appeals to the concept of syllogisms. … Syllogism (gr. Συλλογισμός – reasoning): a deductive conclusion in which two judgments called foundations receive the third judgement they have caused by … “I take the signs of the subject and curve them between the past and the present. Syllogism is not quite an interpretation of the subject and its features. These are reflections, conclusions from the subject I consider. This is a certain wormhole. Wormhole distort space and time so that you can connect distant points. It is a straight line or a tunnel that connects distant points. I transform one image and describe the result of how the present reality is imposed on it. My syllogisms are like a storybook,” author says.
