Some paintings deal with everlasting eternal time. All objects, scenes and even figures are stilled in eternal gestures. In contrast, there are paintings which are more embedded in time as a modern concept. "Instant" exhibition is about this second group.
In some of these works, a tangible moment - sometimes traumatic - has been cut out of everyday reality, transforming a simple, earthly event into a lasting scene. In others, gestures and compositions are not the result of a deliberate predetermined scheme; rather they are the outcome of the struggle and interaction between painting's own forces. A more or less accidental color spot here demands a line in the other corner of the picture. Time is not a fragment of a movement anymore; it is an "instant" which is constructed.
