Veranayum (վերանայում) is the Armenian word for ‘retrospective’. The title refers not only to the past in a chronological sense, but also alludes to the fragility and complexity of memories. The patterns in the coffee grounds to which Veranayum refers are partly reminiscent of neural networks or appear like shadowy signposts guiding the way through the labyrinth of memory. The works thus explore not only what we remember, but also how we remember – namely, in a fragmentary, interpretative and searching manner.
Shipping:
The work will be shipped stretched on a stretcher frame – including a certificate of authenticity and a signature on the reverse.
Erika Barsegian
In coffee grounds reading, the patterns that emerge in the dregs of a cup are traditionally used to provide insights into the past, present and future. Erika, however, goes beyond this symbolism. For her, the patterns are not merely signs to be interpreted, but rather complete images that tell a story of their own. She captures the feeling she experiences when looking at the cup and translates this into her art. This often results in works that begin realistically but become completely abstract as the painting process progresses.
It
is therefore worth taking a closer look at the paintings, as hidden symbols sometimes reveal themselves that are not visible at first glance.
