Rosa Bozhkov

The pattern of a wood flooring is improvised, a fragment of a body appears uncomfortably close—brought to life in impossible ways in the new reality of painting. Rosa Bozhkov investigates the acts of seeing and remembering through painting and drawing. Her work focuses on collapsing timelines, and the space of painting as one outside of linear time. Delving into her personal history to reconstruct emotionally vivid episodes and once-familiar environments and objects, Bozhkov is interested in the malleability of memory; how it takes on new shapes during the retelling. The materiality of paint functions as a parallel to the distorting, layering and condensing nature of recollection.
