Vicken Parsons: Your Light

In Vicken Parsons’ first solo-show in Austria we show paintings exploring space and moving from dark to light and from representation to abstraction. They do not describe that space in any detailed way, rather they evoke it. They are all small in scale and constructed using oblique lines and tipped planes, with seemingly changing boundaries and suggest feelings of emptiness and stillness but also unease. Vicken Parsons is creating a "psychological architecture: an associative space within the mind which stirs memory, creates atmosphere and has the potential to disturb or haunt us". (Anna Moszynska, 1999)
