Sylvia Naimark:
Afterglow
Solo exhibition
Konstnärshuset, Stockholm

March 12 – April 9, 2022

The title of the exhibition suggests shifts in state. The visitor finds a before and an after an the tensions in

between. Afterglow is a study in ways of experiencing reality, or real events. In many ways, the retelling

of the experience always becomes fiction. An afterglow of and a prank on the real.

Sylvia Naimark's works represent liminal states and movement and expressions even in the seemingly

still. The What Remains series consists of 10 paintings installed in a row, spaced apart. The oscillating

effect between painting and interruption creates an emptiness but also a breathing space. Her paintings

are woven together and there is a kind of simultaneity that reflects concepts and the unknown. In the

materiality of the paint, one can see how the painting is both intuitive and restrained at the same time.
