ART-PRESENTATION:Christina Michalis

 The new work of Christina Michalis, who lives and works in Berlin, is a series of abstract works on canvas and polycarbonate plastic panels. The process of creating these works is quite arbitrary and coincidental. The boundaries are dissolved and each work is like a frozen image on a film still, it is in an endless process that will just be stopped again and again.  Very important in the specific series of works is the liberation of the painting from the frame and its distance from the classical painting carrier. The work becomes an object, which cannot be separated from space. Space, light and painting are connected to each other on a material level. References to painting arise through the applied color on canvas and at the same time, they are negated by the industrial plastic surface. The perceived picture is produced constantly new, through the reflections on the plastic panel and their play with colors, light and shadows. The canvas, the plastic plate and the color quote the painting of the artist.
