SERENDIPITY

Separate artistic journeys culminate in a shared vision in an exciting new exhibition at London’s Gallery Different

Painter Elena Lojevsky’s work is rooted in layering – of colour, of emotion, and of time.  Using oil and cold wax she builds scrapes reveals and responds, letting each piece evolve as a quiet dialogue between what is seen and what remains hidden. 

“With each painting I undertake, I weave a unique narrative — a story that speaks of a particular place, a fleeting moment in life, or even life itself. Each stroke and colour choice serves as a means to encapsulate and capture the present moment.” Elena Lojevsky

London based ceramic artist Natalia Abramishvili’s journey has been anything but conventional.  She first studied international relations, and worked in advertising and interior design, but it was in ceramics that she found her true voice.  Her work explores instability and permanence by focusing on emotions, relationships, philosophies of life embodied in form, texture and colour.  She hand-builds with clay.  This offers her both a high level of control and boundless possibilities for experimentation.

“What draws me to clay is its ability to capture transformation—not only in form but in meaning. I see ceramics as a dialogue between material and maker, between time and touch. Clay resists, cracks, and yet, when fired, it holds memory like no other material. Through this, I construct narratives of tension, erosion, and resilience.” Natalia Abramishvili

The decision to exhibit together grew out of a natural resonance that emerged as they experienced each other’s work.   There was a shared recognition of something quiet but powerful, a harmony, and out of this emerged the title for the exhibition – SERENDIPTIY.  Lojevsky’s paintings have a complexity of colour and emotional intensity that is mirrored in the lines, textures and colours that Abramishvili achieves in her ceramic sculptures.
