The artist Sveta Yavorsky was inspired by and dedicated to the twelve moons of the solar system, the paintings in Yavorsky's collection are named after mythological heroes and literary figures as in the Western classical tradition.
Sveta Yavorsky was born in Russia and studied art and architecture at the Moscow University of Architecture. She moved to London in 1992 as a fine artist, with her architectural training contributing to and informing her fascination with the use of geometic patterns within figurative composition. From careful study of Kandwinsky's theory of colour, Yavorsky then it developed from this, her own idea of how colours and their various combinations, affect the psyche.
The artist has experimented with a multiple layers of patterning, perforation and texture that simultaneously stress the surface of the painting and dissolve it. Each painting appears to have several surfaces, which hang over one another like gossamer curtains,while the faded, mysterious figures at the centre unite these diverse elements into a single, ethereal composition. The central approach behind this particular exhibition is the heraldic use of colour through the layers of detail placed over, and interacting with, the contours of each figure.
