Zoran Poposki

"Zoran Poposki's latest series of ‘expressive portraits’ starts with the photographs of his friends who, by means of a dadaist method of chance, randomly select sentences from works of trivial literature, and in turn that quote becomes their personal ‘statement’. The title of the series – HUSH, should be read in terms of Lacan’s ‘muteness’, that is the inability to express something, whereas the randomly chosen sentences, which don’t correspond to their life situations but at the same time strangely correspond to them, tell us something about them after all. The interpretation of these sentences leads us to an entirely different, quasi-serious extreme, even to a psychoanalytical approach in our attempt at perceiving each person and its ‘statement’.

The author leaves ‘his personal mark’ by completing this whole with elements from his painting, such as the perception of space and color as a primary means of expression evident in his previous abstract expressionist oils and acrylics.

The calmness of the characters represented stands juxtaposed to the expressive colors and the ‘free’ expression, the references of which lie in abstract expressionism and action painting. At times one gets the impression that this dominant picturality is in conflict with the title of the exhibition. On the contrary, the expressiveness, ias an expression of inner spiritual and psychological states, contributes towards the realization of the need/necessity for the being to tell its own ‘story’, towards overcoming the barriers to free expression of emotions in a superficial world ruled by muteness."
