VERAS ROOM ING - Softcover

This is the first monograph on the artist Maria Chevska. Like her work this book offers different approaches to its subjects: an essay by the renowned critic and art historian Tony Godfrey considers the artist's oeuvre from its painterly beginnings to its 'multimedia' present. Godfrey locates Chevska's practice at the nexus of modernism and its elimination. With a particular focus on her use of material and text the essay reveals an underlying conflict that lies at the heart of Chevska's work which continuously moves from the very small to the very large, from the sensual to the rough, from the light to the dark.
