Vadim Bora Gallery in Asheville, NC, Features Works by Georgi Bora

Mimesis is an exhibition of new works by Georgi Bora opening at Vadim Bora Gallery in Asheville, NC, on Apr. 4. This is the second public showing of Georgi Bora's paintings. His first show in 2006 sold out on opening night. The exhibit will be on view through May 4, 2008.

With this new body of work ­ a colorful and texture-rich tapestry of moonlit landscapes, waterscapes, and fantastical dreamscapes ­ Bora examines more deeply the implications of reality and perception; the external versus the internal world.

Representations - in visual arts - play an important part in our lives and culture. Mimesis's considered to represent human emotions in new ways, (hence the work "mimic") thus representing to the onlooker, listener or reader the inherent nature of these emotions and the psychological truth of the work of art.

"The external world is processed through our own individual senses and each perception of reality is presented differently to our internal selves," says Georgi Bora.  

Particularly his tree series, in which he anthropomorphizes tree-like figures to take on human emotions, ideas, and senses, deals with the abstract questions of perception and objects taking on new meanings for each individual.

Georgi Bora is son of international painter and sculptor, Vadim Bora.
