This work has been selected for the London Art Biennale 2021 https://www.londonbiennale.co.uk/2021/adelskaya-ekaterina/ ABSTRACT WATERCOLOUR PAINTING ON COTTON PAPER - FRAMED MATERIALS: watercolour, bronze pigment, salt on cotton paper "Saunders Waterford NOT 640 gsm" SIZE: 56 x 76 cm / 22 x 30 in WEIGHT: 400g YEAR: 2020 In the "Letting Go" watercolour series, I explore pigment dissolution, metal oxidation, and elements of chance within my own watercolour technique, employing the use of salt. Utilising minimal control of the paintbrush, I create swathes of colours reminiscent of skin layers, imaginary other-worldly landscapes, and deteriorating metallic surfaces. The bronze pigment darkens slowly over time through its natural oxidation process aided by the salt on paper, making it a “living and performative painting.” Various-sized white dots of unpainted surface build a dialogue between materials (pigments) and their absence (emptiness). The viewer is invited to experience presence and absence, randomness and control, remembering and forgetting.

Ekaterina Adelskaya (b. 1988, Moscow) is a Russian artist with Ukrainian roots, living and working in London. Her artistic focus is in sculptures and watercolours with a strong emphasis on exploring materiality, destruction and transformative processes. Since 2015, Ekaterina has exhibited her works in various prestigious venues, including The Royal Academy of Arts in London, The Royal West of England Academy in Bristol, London Art Biennale, CICA Museum, Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art. Her works are held in private collections in the UK, Italy, and Russia. Notably, in 2020, her object 'Blurring' was included in CICA Museum's permanent collection, while 'Letting Go' won the "Watercolour 2nd Prize" at the 168th Annual Exhibition of the Royal West of England Academy. "In my practice, I frequently incorporate textiles, minerals/pigments and found objects, subjecting them to various forms of deterioration and destruction. The method of deconstruction plays a significant role as it often leads to the creation of something new, opening doors to uncharted territories in my research and experimentation. My investigation of materiality serves as a lens through which I decipher the intricacies of our world, enabling me to discover the complexities of human existence and its impact on the environment, particularly in the context of the current climate emergency. By embracing the transformative nature of materials I reflect on the impermanence, imperfection and fragility of life. I believe that the transformation of matter is an integral part of our existence — it is life itself. We constantly adapt, thrive and decay in a continuous flow of change."
