Maria Chevska in Conversation with Peter Suchin

Dubious To Reason

Thursday, May 29, 2014
12:00 pm

Venue: Vane

Maria Chevska will be in conversation in the gallery with artist and critic Peter Suchin.

Maria Chevska’s solo exhibition at Vane, ‘Dubious to Reason’, consists of a large series of recent paintings, From the Diary of a Fly, and collage sculptures on plinths entitled Muniments. In her paintings and three-dimensional collages, Chevska explores both media’s capacities to shift and evolve ideas. The exhibition draws reference from Franz Kafka’s celebrated novella, The Metamorphosis, in which travelling salesman Gregor Samsa is mysteriously transformed into a giant insect.
