" Lines " (2023) Original 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 evokes at once outer space, a microscopic image and a damaged photograph. The white spots resemble stars, cells, bubbles or noise—something that appears and vanishes within a dark environment. Because of this, it is impossible to definitively determine the scale: the image seems infinitely large and infinitely small at the same time. There is a quiet detachment and a sense of the unknown in the work—as if it were a map of a space that cannot be fully deciphered.
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.
