簡介

Vikenti Komitski, born in 1983 in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Komitski employs the logic of the readymade and intervenes by performing minimal artistic transformations. His choice of original objects to work from is often fairly mundane, but he brings to each a sudden new dynamic and hence enlivens their original form to change their situation and context and hence the viewer's anticipated perception. As Komitski plays and opens up the definition of everyday objects he also unites them in a collaged, interrelated sphere where they take on a utopian-style of equality. For example in Untitled, 2009 he presents 21 different ways to interpret one and the same image (a small black circle), it could be a football at the bottom of a well, the barrel of a gun or any of 19 other proposals. In other drawings he uses pages form old manuals or world maps, which he covers with black paint or decorative elements, leaving visible only the smallest details. In the composite works in the series 'Frame' he substituted the space of the canvas inside the frame with paving-stones, thus subtly posing the question of the status of art to and within the art institution.

Komitski graduated in Sculpture from the National Academy of Art, Sofia. In 2009 his solo exhibition #1 was presented at Vaska Emanuilova Gallery and curated by Vladiya Mihailova. Also in 2009 he presented work in the exhibitons Work in Motion at the Red House, Sofia and in The Temptation of Chalga, at the Sofia City Art Gallery. Komitski was a nominee for the BAZA Award, Sofia City Art Gallery in 2008 and 2009.
