Metro Art Highlights: Stas Orlovski’s “Expo Park/USC” (2010), Through the Eyes of Artists.
The bloat-bellied moon sags low.
The soft gray ashes of a combustible commute has swallowed the stars.
The day duns and distributes but doses of dread as dreams are deferred daily and lay in desuetude from disuse. But secours, friend, and entrust your eyes to Metro’s able aegis as there is no greater hedge against the hazards of the hectoring ho-hums than the visual triolet of art.
The artist here is impelled toward afflatus and sews together sanguinely a dramatic darkening sky, erstwhile romantic architecture, and a dense laurel of roses. Stas Orlovski states, “I wanted to create an image for the Expo Park/USC Poster project that would draw on my personal experience with the neighborhood which I associated with notions of collective memory, history, romance, nostalgia and wonder.” The artwork exhorts the interstices of history and the natural world. A recalled place that is both familiar and exotically far-flung. A dreamily displaced place perhaps perished, pined over, but obstinately remembered.
Orlovski continues, “The iconography is based on archival photographs of public sculpture and romantic architecture on the USC campus, the ornithological collections/galleries at the Natural History Museum, and the iconic Rose Garden in Exposition Park.”
And the result implements an economy of effort that manages to magnetize your gaze. Unblinkingly and unthinkingly.
For a period of both always and never and the sighs in between.
