Meetings is a series of watercolour paintings by Vladimir Logutov. Here, windows, walls and ceilings come in and out of focus. Simple abstract shapes become floorplans, the next moment bare rooms, then just squares and rhomboids again.
Common to most of the compositions in the series is a bright white rectangle, which by turns gives the impression of light hitting a back wall, windows, or the glow of a screen.
‘I think of the rectangle as a screen. (It could be a phone or computer screen — or maybe a video projector at an exhibition — but the canvas is like a screen, too),’ Logutov says, ‘Meetings is about paying attention to the screen itself, before there is any image on it.
‘My interest is in the relationship between a conditional viewer and a conditional work of art.’ Indeed, Logutov makes work about perception and space: about each world we make as we move through the world.
