It won't be an exaggeration to say Walk in my mind is an exceptionally good exhibition. 10 Artists were asked to share they anticipation of creativity and its process. This is a very intimate and personal journey. From the list of well known names I picked up my favourites, though it wasn't an easy choice.
The first impressiv outlook is Keith Tyson's Wall Drawings - art journal. Turner Prize winner has a skilful way of mixing various media to give away his line of thinking. Some of his paintings have the 'pre-raphaelite' quality others recall the news paper layout with a sculpture that translates 2D posters to a 3D reality. Who haven't seen the Thinker(After Rodin) will get the chance to relate to the epic and complex system of Tyson's motivations.
Every experience is interconnected, the information travels beyond the speed of light and the whole universe appears instantly. Those are the objectives the Geneva's CERN collider share with Tyson and it seems they get on pretty well.Supercollider Keith Tyson
My second choice is Bo Christian Larsson. The exhibition was my first meeting with this Swedish artist. In his work the process of drawing is the initial step Larsson takes to create a misterious and arcane world of beauty.
Bo Christian Larsson"I believe that strong feelings as a result of aesthetic experience form a very important part of my creative process. The accent on feelings like fear and anxiety – these are feelings you can experience when being confronted with the direct meaning of my work."
Bo Christian Larsson
This is exactly an experience I had when I was exploring his dark but somehow familiar representations on the wall, hanging on the staircase, creeping behind your back or expanding over 2 floors. Simply Fantastic!
