Julia Soboleva THE FIRE THAT DRANK THE SHADOW

€33.00

In this massive volume, the artist delves deep into the fragile frontier between beauty and decay

Using her signature mix of collage, painting, and found photography, Soboleva constructs unsettling visual narratives - portraits of disquiet, tenderness, and trauma, and strangely remending us of Lynch-ian dreamscapes.

Here, the ghosts of memory take new forms. Fragments of forgotten faces, traces of family stories, and silent echoes of the post-Soviet landscape intertwine with surreal and absurd humour. The result is a hypnotic dialogue between innocence and corruption, violence and grace.

Since the publication of her first monograph In The Dark Time, The Eye Begins To See, Julia Soboleva has continued to assert herself as one of the most compelling voices of her generation - an artist who transforms personal wounds into timeless icons of vulnerability and strength.
