Amazement, NordArt 2022 | Büdelsdorf, Germany
Artist: Vasil Berela
From the catalogue:
"It's easy to be impressed by Vasil Berela's installation "Amazement". A superficial glance reveals a technical prowess, competing with the 70s hyper-realistic figures. But that is not at all what intrigues him, the technique is always only a tool. Alike his paintings where complicated perspective elements unsettle the viewer's spatial confidence, the figure in his installation, sitting at the table like a counterpart installation, poses a question about our identity. Its mirror-like gleam only reflects the surrounding space and the four faces can, quite literally, represent the complexity of an individual. A truly amazing, multifaceted complexity – transparent, semi-transparent, opaque and, finally, the supposedly authentic face – that never reveals the complete personality but shows us only the surface layer."
