This Dream Again, Part 2 by Misha Gudwin - Color pencils on paper, 2023

2023

"This Dream Again" is a series created by contemporary artist Misha Gudwin for the group exhibition "Floral & Machine" at St. Paulus Church in Basel in 2023. The drawing conveys a fantasy-like, surrealistic reality, similar to a dreamlike experience. The images are exaggeratedly cute on the one hand and eerie on the other. It is as if we are peering into this otherworld through a shaped canvas frame, memorizing, with its shape, a map of the starry sky or binoculars. The plot and characters refer to various creepy content from the web, somebody like animatronics - mechanical growth dolls or Furby toys. In conveying an absurdist world in this series, the artist was inspired by the visual internet subculture of Wiredcor. Creating such a magical world is an escapist attempt to escape from aggressive reality, an attempt to escape from it into a dreamlike world. - Misha Gudwin is a contemporary artist, born in 1995. His artistic practice is focused on studying the inextricable relationship between material and virtual (digital) objects. He explores the interactions of street and digital environment using found object, reflecting the industrial image of post-Soviet cities. The artist says: "I propose to document our modernity, where the digital is no longer something new, and the human environment has long been combining signs of both material and digital space." Misha's recent solo exhibitions include: 2022 - "Liminal" / Voskhod gallery / Basel 2022 - "The night of Capricorn" / Vyksa Artist-in-Residence / Vyksa 2021 - "Lilac Light...
