Mischa Björkroos series of monochromes merge from her preoccupation with
ideas of the void, the cut, the line and its tangents. Concieved within an intuitive
and meditative frame of reference her work juxtaposes subtle variations with perennial themes. She minimizes explicit use of color and shape which creates a sence of serenity and reflection. Longing for simplicity and purity, Mischa some-
times explores the possibilities of using the canvas itself as the medium,
understated raw pigments enchance the white on white theme, a homogeny that
is occasionally fractured by physical cutting. Both fragile and consoling, these
pieces ultimately challange the viewer to reach beyond stillness and investigate
the fissures. Moreover, these absences within the void allude to altered perspec-
tives and cause us to journey into the subconscious."
