Pocket Storms and Other Mylars, 2009
Aleksandra Rdest uses a language drawn from weather patterns; inspired by sound waves, clouds, particles and cells on a microscopic level. The point of departure for these works is growth and decay; cellular division and multiplication, weather patterns biological colonization. Rdest’s love affair with colour gives rise to these paintings which are created by richly layering veils of paint to form a deep surface.
Through painting Rdest is reaching for the sublime; the tragedy of yearning, the mockery of the unattainable just beyond her grasp. This mingles with the caricature of the gesture; it enters with a flourish, sashays into the picture plane only to be overtaken by growth.
