The Discerner Alexander Mihaylovich “Since the late 1980s, Los Angeles artist Alexander Mihaylovich has been creating works that deal with the fragmentation of history and memory. His most recent pieces are three-dimensional mixed media works that allude to the ephemeral nature of our own time. The juxtaposition of modern industrial fragments with painted Arcadian landscapes and classical forms points to the disjointedness of our own past as well as the complexity of understanding history and time. The layering of found materials, such as plastic or metal, obscures our ability to view the painted image and acts as a metaphor for the destruction of cultural heritage and the environment.” “Mirror” - 2014 - POA Oil on paper, 19th century mirror & frame 94 x 80cm “Icon” - 2006 - POA Oil on paper, 17th century vellum fragment, mixed media 28 x 18cm Available to view at the Discerner’s Residence in Mayfair “Silver of Antiquity” - 2011 - POA Oil on panel, mixed media 40 x 40cm E: [email protected] “Equilibrium” - 2006 - POA Oil on copper - 33 x 33cm W: mihaylovich.com For all enquiries, please contact Alexander or Celine at [email protected] or 0207 491 9925 www.thediscer ne r . c om 5
