Psychomachia 2015-2016

2015- 2016
Making space for painting

I wanted to go beyond the focus on the orifices characteristic of the previous work (see That That is Not on my site www.katerinapapazissi.com )  to  more painterly and juicy approach.
To attain a pictorial expansiveness, and assert materiality.
A desire of the flesh to expand, to see itself portrayed.

I had a vision (I think maybe a dream) of many folds, many bodily orifices creating their own kind of space perpetually in movement. This drawing resulted

Soft pastel on paper, 18x24cm


Thus result this series, subsequently entitled Psychomachia, which consists of drawings with soft pastel and smaller watercolours.
The drawings,  that oppose geometrical to organic abstract forms, make a transition from my past to my current work.

Still, in this series the body is trying to break free from the grids and hard structures that contain it.
Here is a sample of the drawings
