Show Us Your Bits And Pieces
At the Vanishing Point | Newtown Australia Year 2013
The artwork represents the symbolic meaning of music and its influence on our everyday life. How do we react to music? What changes does it stir in us? These are the questions that the artist asked herself while creating this abstract piece. The movement of a line is like the movement of melody. Colours resonate with beats. The rhythm of music and its flow was the main inspiration. The feeling that flows through your body when you listen to the music… How to explain this mysterious connection to melody that so many people experience?

Synopsis
According to Encyclopedia Britannica:
Entropy is the measure of a system’s thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work. Because work is obtained from ordered molecular motion, the amount of entropy is also a measure of the molecular disorder, or randomness, of a system. The concept of entropy provides deep insight into the direction of spontaneous change for many everyday phenomena [1].
These paintings proclaim that the ripple effect does not always happen according to an obvious sequence of events. Often, we see consequences of random actions that happened spontaneously and unconsciously but brought about significant changes to life experience. These abstract works completed by layering paint, soft pastels, glue and varnishes represent chaos that led to an expression of freedom and fluidity.
According to an online community Social Media Today:
The ripple effect in sociology can be observed how social interactions can affect situations not directly related to the initial interaction [2].
Therefore, these paintings reflect the artist’s experience of social interactions that did not results in an expected outcome, instead, a new opportunity appeared and evolved into a bewildering social scenario.

SHELVES
12 – 17 January 2018 | The Shop Gallery | 112 Glebe Point Rd, Glebe NSW Australia
Arina Zinovyeva celebrates a decade of creative practice in her solo exhibition Shelves. The work spans from the intricate drawings to bold abstractions. Her interest in the medium shifted from detailed pencil drawings on paper to expressive mixed media on board. Not only has she reconsidered the medium, but also the concept behind her work. The years 2008-2012 were marked with intense exploration of physical and emotional journeys; the period of 2013-2016 however was dedicated to an analysis of quantum physics and in depth research of ways to represent it visually. A variety of work and her enthusiastic approach to abstract painting is what she wants to show to an audience.
