"Laughing" (2021)Drawing by Marya

This work was done with a ballpoint pen on office paper A4 , which is glued with tape. I deliberately use the simplest and most non-artistic materials. I want to emphasize the lightness, simplicity, accessibility and illusion of contemporary art.
The work creates a tense scene of clashing emotions and power. The screaming faces look like flashes of uncontrollable feelings—anger, despair, or hysterical laughter. Their expressions are extremely open and even grotesque, as if the emotion has been brought to its extreme. Against this backdrop, a huge hand folded into a “gun” gesture becomes the dominant element of the composition. It is directed into space, creating a sense of threat, pressure, or a symbolic act of power.
This work consists of individual sheets of A4 paper, which are glued together with adhesive tape. Along the gluing line, the picture can be bent and folded like an accordion, like a brochure. I am using this opportunity to mail this picture. When you receive this picture, it will be folded like a brochure A4. The picture must be expanded and placed in a graphic frame. This can be easily done by yourself or in any baguette studio.
