Please, Remain Seated is a new painting installation by a young Bulgarian-born artist who investigates the nature of escape through the pictorial narrative with sophisticated representational style. Following the academic tradition of figurative painting and the influence of Byzantine murals and social realist monuments, Dimitrova creates an installation that transforms the exhibition space into a transitory environment of ‘non-space,’ suspending a viewer between past, present, and future. Subdued colors and a sepia tone of her painting evoke a sense of nostalgia for distant memories and a psychological discomfort of relocation.

6 - 10 pm

Art House Gallery
309 Peters St
Atlanta, GA 30313

[ i n e r t i a ] consists of recent paintings and installations by artist
Yana Dimitrova.

Based on the search for cultural integration, Yana examines the
psychological state of liminality - being between past, present and future.
Using aircraft objects, paintings and wall installation, Yana focuses on the
psychological experiences of the immigrant.
The cultural vistas that she investigates codify the work and its
foundations in a post-socialist/global society.
Place, and memory, interior and exterior, space and time fracture the limit
between reality and fiction and lead the viewer in the realm of a
rather unconventional and perplexed exhibition space.

Born in Yambol, Bulgaria, Yana Dimitrova moved to the U.S. in the year 2002.
She studied at the National School for Fine Arts and Culture ?Acd.
Ilia Petrov? in Sofia,
Bulgaria
and at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah and Atlanta, GA
where she is currently completing her MFA.
She has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, including shows
at Gallery Twenty-Four, Berlin, Germany and shows in UK,
Eastern Europe and the US. She currently lives and works in Atlanta, GA.
