Nikolai Atanassov
Engaging an innovative balance between traditional European painting
techniques and elegant modernist forms, Nikolai Atanassov thematically
explores a rich visual realm residing at the intersection of numerous visible
and invisible worlds. An interplay of the imaginary and the real is
represented by complex fields of color encapsulating figures, elements,
objects and entire landscapes to suggest a dialog between classical and
modern sensibilities. Ultimately the work embraces the unity of such
apparently opposing standpoints by negating the fixed boundaries
conventionally separating real versus abstract forms.
The aesthetic
forged by these paintings is at the same time resonant with a physical theory
of chaos. Expansion, reduction and recombination become metaphors visually
rendered by images that reduce visual matter to variations of explosive light
that expands over time, ultimately to occupy a new limitless space enfolding
both mythological and actual states. Fragments of reality become visible at
this moment of chaos, leading us to a recombinant view using a new visual
language of perception that is unfettered by the dichotomies of the past
