Maria Papacharalampous' new series of works, under the title 'Here and There', is once again treading between the empirical and the spiritual.
Beyond the semiotic interpretation of space and time, Papacharalmbous new works - a trilogy of sorts - exposes first of all the fragility of presence. Exploiting a 'T', the physics' symbol for time, she discloses a gathering of distances across the now defaced chronological continuum, understood not horologicaly but through a congregation of events.
No longer the iconography of loneliness, yet laconic, direst and accute, her 'micro-discharges' of works depitct an infiltration into the sunconcious the most pesonal and the most collective of memory deposits. Acroos a variety of media, across spaces - 'points' - these humble and acute exercises of intuition rather than narration, extend and stand tall, documents of Papacharalambous 20-year long and kaleidoscopic career, as a painter-topographer of being.
Elements from 'Here and There' will be exhibited at Argo Gallery, APOTHEKE and ARTos Foundation in Cyprus before moving to the Macedonian Museum of Modern Art in Thessalonica, Greece, at ConcentArt in Berlin, Germany and at [m]ARTos in Madrid, Spain, accompanied by a 128-page catalogue celebrating Maria Papacharalambou's 20-year career.
