F.A.W.W Gallery presents 'Fractals' with Boris Pramatarov
FractalsBoris PramatarovFAWW GalleryOpening Thursday 7 April, RSVP to fawwguestlist@gmail.comExhibition 8 — 24 April 2022FAWW Gallery is proud to present 'Fractals', an exhibition by Brussels-based Bulgarian artist Boris Pramatarov. Scenes of cascading action meet hyper-detailed patterning in Pramatatorv's work and render subtle shifts between figure and ground, forcing the eye to adjust as it moves around imagery existing on multiple planes. In this show, the effect of the artist's work is likened to that of fractals, wherein impressive patterns are found to recur at progressively small scales, as can be found in the organic process of crystal growth.
The hallucinogenic creation of worlds — and worlds within worlds — that is compounded into a single drawing, is both Pramatorov's style and signature, as the artwork of his father's will attest. Citing the artist's experience of growing up immersed in the incidental details of his father's magical, illustrated worlds, 'Fractals' also features a select number of pieces by Pramatarov's father. In so doing, the exhibition additionally explores an inter-generational artistic impulse, and the way time and context can so dramatically influence a work of art.The exhibition comprises original pieces by the artist and his father, as well as limited edition prints. Through the opening, Pramatarov will also be giving small-scale hand-poked tattoos from flash featuring motifs from his work, with all proceeds going towards Ukrainian crisis relief.
