"Immersed	
  in	
  this	
  place	
  we	
  find	
  ourselves	
  responding	
  to	
  our	
  environs,	
  
whether	
  through	
  geographical,	
  architectural,	
  philosophical,	
  historical	
  
or	
  iconographic	
  inquiry.	
  Each	
  ar/st	
  explores	
  this	
  land	
  and	
  endeavours	
  
to	
  share	
  their	
  own	
  unique	
  vision,	
  transcending	
  the	
  tradi/onal	
  and	
  the	
  
roman/c	
  vista,	
  offering	
  you	
  another	
  reality.”	
  
	
  
Through	
  each	
  of	
  our	
  unique	
  visions	
  of	
  this	
  land	
  we	
  speak	
  of	
  our	
  
individual	
  journeys,	
  portraying	
  a	
  response	
  to	
  this	
  through	
  our	
  chosen	
  
mediums.	
  Our	
  work	
  is	
  so	
  disparate	
  in	
  execu/on	
  but	
  by	
  combining	
  in	
  
exhibi/on	
  there	
  is	
  a	
  harmony	
  and	
  common	
  understanding.	
  We	
  offer	
  
one	
  another	
  a	
  balance,	
  a	
  yin	
  and	
  yang	
  of	
  techniques	
  and	
  imagery	
  
linked	
  by	
  the	
  one	
  theme	
  of	
  place.

metaphorical	
   expression	
   (achieved	
   by	
   complex	
   treatment	
   of	
   surfaces	
   be	
   these	
   metal	
   or	
   stone),	
   seemingly	
  
deliberately	
  opposed	
  to	
  the	
  tradi/onal	
  “roughness”	
  of	
  sculp/ng	
  material.	
  	
  
	
  	
  
Such	
  feeling	
  is	
  not	
  incidental	
  and	
  comes	
  from	
  the	
  way	
  the	
  material	
  is	
  treated,	
  and,	
  in	
  this	
  territory,	
  Svilen	
  Petrov’s	
  
crea/ve	
  thinking	
  can	
  be	
  defined	
  as	
  pronouncedly	
  elegant.	
   	
  This	
  is	
  hardly	
  fortuitous,	
  considering	
  his	
  sculpture	
  
educa/on	
  at	
  the	
  Na/onal	
  Academy	
  of	
  Arts	
  in	
  Sofia	
  in	
  the	
  1980-­‐ies.	
  And	
  his	
  high	
  professional	
  skills	
  are	
  obviously	
  
well-­‐	
  appreciated	
  in	
  Abu	
  Dhabi,	
  where	
  he	
  chose	
  to	
  live	
  many	
  years	
  ago.	
  	
  	
  	
  
	
  	
  
Svilen	
  Petrov	
  works	
  mainly	
  with	
  stone	
  and	
  bronze,	
  and	
  his	
  crea/ons	
  seem	
  connected	
  with	
  the	
  classic	
  forms	
  and	
  
the	
  early	
  decades	
  of	
  European	
  sculpture	
  modernism,	
  rather	
  than	
  with	
  fashionable	
  trends.	
  This	
  is	
  an	
  inten/onal	
  
choice,	
  opposed	
  to	
  the	
  modern	
  sculpture,	
  which	
  seems	
  to	
  be	
  falling	
  apart	
  and	
  losing	
  its	
  integrity.	
  	
  Such	
  decision	
  
deserves	
  respect	
  because	
  there	
  is	
  no	
  “right”	
  or	
  “wrong”	
  in	
  modern	
  art.	
   	
  Upholding	
  of	
  certain	
  plas/c	
  means	
  of	
  
expression	
  represents	
  a	
  cultural	
  choice	
  associated	
  with	
  the	
  self-­‐asser/on	
  of	
  each	
  ar/st	
  in	
  their	
  specific	
  context,	
  
and	
  Svilen	
  Petrov’s	
  tradi/onalism	
  is	
  of	
  the	
  type	
  evoking	
  pure	
  joy	
  –	
  and	
  making	
  the	
  world	
  a	
  good	
  place	
  to	
  live.

Currently	
   based	
   in

   UAE	
   my	
   work	
   is	
   concerned	
   with	
   place	
   and	
   through	
   social	
   fragmenta/on	
   I	
   search	
   to	
  
connect	
   with	
   this	
   land	
   (and	
   its	
   popula/on)	
   to	
   find	
   its	
   true	
   soul.	
   I	
   refer	
   to	
   landscape	
   as	
   the	
   founda/ons	
   and	
  
structure	
  giving	
  its	
  people	
  their

  wealth	
  and

  and

  strength	
  and

  in	
  the

  enabling

The	
  nature	
  and	
  the	
  city,	
  vegeta/on	
  and	
  architecture,	
  flora	
  and	
  fauna	
  urban	
  are	
  source	
  of	
  inspira/on.	
  These	
  
themes	
  serve	
  as	
  a	
  pretext	
  to	
  experiment	
  forms	
  of	
  graphic	
  and	
  colorful	
  harmonies	
  in

  construc/ons	
  
associated	
  with

  of	
  plant	
  or	
  processing	
  a	
  simple	
  vegetal	
  view	
  into	
  a	
  jungle	
  fantasy.	
  The	
  choice	
  of	
  a	
  
single	
  theme	
  allows	
  forgeong	
  about	
  the	
  subject	
  in	
  order	
  to	
  focus	
  only	
  on	
  the	
  pain/ng	
  itself.	
  We	
  are	
  coming	
  from	
  
the	
  nature	
  and	
  so	
  is	
  our	
  habitat.

In this Place exhibition catalogue

  • 1. “In  this  place”   an  exhibi/on  featuring  works  by     Svilen  Petrov,  Kim  Robertson,  Karine  Roche   ©  E/had  Modern  Art  Gallery  March  2015  
  • 2. "Immersed  in  this  place  we  find  ourselves  responding  to  our  environs,   whether  through  geographical,  architectural,  philosophical,  historical   or  iconographic  inquiry.  Each  ar/st  explores  this  land  and  endeavours   to  share  their  own  unique  vision,  transcending  the  tradi/onal  and  the   roman/c  vista,  offering  you  another  reality.”     Through  each  of  our  unique  visions  of  this  land  we  speak  of  our   individual  journeys,  portraying  a  response  to  this  through  our  chosen   mediums.  Our  work  is  so  disparate  in  execu/on  but  by  combining  in   exhibi/on  there  is  a  harmony  and  common  understanding.  We  offer   one  another  a  balance,  a  yin  and  yang  of  techniques  and  imagery   linked  by  the  one  theme  of  place.   ©  E/had  Modern  Art  Gallery  March  2015
