fog Painting

Painting: Acrylic on Cardboard. Medium: cardboard/acrylic Year Created: 2007 Laurian Onofrei April 11, 2017 London. Westminster Abbey. Queen. Royalty. Bridge. Jack. Thames …. In short, there are many symbols that can certainly define – in one way or another – the capital of the United Kingdom. Each and every symbol has its own inwardness – historical, cultural, stylistic or semantical – and is carried through time and space, with a certain pride and for a good reason, by all the British. These symbols remain unchanged, unaltered and seem to be eternal. A symbol of the London image of all time is the fog, a weather phenomenon currently encountered there, often confused or combined with the smog and considered a main source of inspiration in literature and art. Dariya Afanaseva manages to contradict the common opinion that the London fog is grey and gloomy. In her artwork titled “Fogginess”, the grey of the fog became pink, violet or blue – colors almost cool or almost warm, seeming to result from the interaction of the water vapor with some specific colors. Dariya discovers the profundity of the fog and gives it her own colorful artistic interpretation, since it’s hard to associate Dariya’s vivid image of an artist with the dull grey of London. The artwork is the result of the artist’s impressions during her studies at Central Saint Martins, in the summers of the years 2003-2006 – a period of time when the metropolis has been deprived of the fog or … maybe this enigmatic phenomenon hasn’t presented itself as the well-known capricious entity. http://str8home.com/2017/04/11/fogginess-dariya-afanaseva/
