This series of aerial photographs, taken during more than ten trips to Iceland, shows a new way of looking at landscapes. What starts as pictures of nature’s beauty turns into abstract images full of emotion and imagination.
The photos remind us of abstract expressionism, an art style known for large paintings, bold and messy brushstrokes, strong colors, and a sense of spontaneity and chaos, evoking the energy and emotion found in the paintings of Mark Rothko, Gerhard Richter, and Willem de Kooning.
However, these images do not mimic human-made art; instead, they reveal that the roots of abstraction lie in nature itself. The patterns and shapes captured from above—carved by water, wind, and time—suggest that the visual language of abstraction originates in the ever-changing forces of the natural world.
As part of the exhibition, a video art piece by Polina Kulbachevskaia offers a new perspective on its theme, transforming Vadim's photography into a dynamic visual experience that deepens the viewer’s engagement with his artistic vision.
