Enso means circle in Japanese.\u00a0 The circle symbolizes enlightenment, the universe and the void. In Zen Buddhism, the circle symbolizes the moment when the mind has left the soul to create; it can be read that it most directly symbolizes the artist\u2019s soul. The background colour is displayed in the iridescent colour spectrum. This means the full palette of colours that one can work with. They change every time you look at them from a different angle and they also reflect the surrounding colours; through them, I discover the diversity of the void.<\/p>\n

This is an attempt to fill the void. I read it as an added double standard in artistic and life quests. Firstly, we seek the peace of the void and secondly, we try to fill it with the whole spectrum of known possibilities. One moment a person can live with a little and the next \u2013 they would like to own everything. I use two completely incompatible words \u2013 zen and kitsch \u2013 which describe the circle of modernity in which we live.<\/p>\n

With the project ZEN \/ KITSCH by Kaliya Kalacheva, Credo Bonum Gallery presents the projects selected through an open invitation for the Credo BOX space.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Credo BOX is an exhibition space, part of the Credo Bonum Gallery, but with its own program. Located at the entrance of the mother gallery, the Small BOX is a small bright niche in which chamber projects of artists will be displayed. It is a place for a work of art, for an artistic motto, for a drawing, a photograph, an audio or video work, but also for a small, focused artistic gesture, for words and messages.<\/p>\n
