Project info

During his residency at MQ, Petr Kirusha will work on a new, strongly site-specific project. He captures the local characteristics of a place or situation and adds a white rhombus as a recurring symbol. The artist also describes this shape as an inverted circle that shrinks inwards. The colour white symbolises the emptiness in the space of the painting and becomes the colour of the canvas.
