Walk

Landskrona konsthall 2010

Walk is the title of a painting by Sylvia Naimark, as well as the name of her new exhibition with paintings, focusing mainly on the last few years but extending over the last decade.

Walk is a word of various meanings. Just like the paintings themselves, it contains different layers of content and changes in time perspectives, where everything is simultaneous. Then is now and now is then. Time and space reach other dimensions.

Sylvia Naimark’s artistry gives rise to existential questions. Each individual work relates to another. They are solitaries that together conduct a conversation with each other and with the viewer. We are invited into another world where the pictures reach outside of themselves in a state where feelings and ideas meet.

The starting point of the project is Landskrona’s art gallery, and continues to Galleri Astley in Bergslagen and will then be shown at Jakobsberg art gallery outside Stockholm at the end of 2010.
