A(R)mour is a duo show by the artists Veronika Desova and Slava George and consists of series of mixed metal and glass sculptures which engage with the ancient Thracian heritage of Bulgaria, drawing on artefacts excavated from sacred sites throughout the Rose Valley. The works reinterpret funerary symbolism, personal adornment and defensive armour to imagine the ritual burial of a contemporary, or perhaps future, Thracian woman through a dystopian and surrealist lens.
Veronika Desova is an architect, educator and conceptual artist currently based between New York, US and Sofia, Bulgaria. She works with ready-made architectural fragments, industrial design techniques, textiles, photography and performance to explore the phenomenological relationship between architecture and the female body. Across media, her work engages with texture, temporality and the ephemeral qualities of material and body, offering spaces for reflection on the fragile, mutable and interconnected nature of the environments we inhabit.
Slava George is a Sofia and Mexico City based multidisciplinary artist who works with various media - installation art, sculpture, performance, video, photography and conceptual fashion design. Her artistic position is deeply connected to the role of women and the feminine as a social construct. In her artistic research, she seeks the connections between social phenomena such as alchemy, myths and rituals, and specifically, how they are intertwined within the collective subconscious and the human condition.
Cast fragments of both artists’ bodies, rendered in metal and glass, are combined with sealed vessels containing rose oil and gold-infused water.
Join us this Saturday 22nd August for the opening of A(R)mour at W2 Store.
