Vladimir KARA was curator, organizer and art director of the following group exhibitions: “Born in the USSR made in France” Paris (2010) , “NOMAD BORDES” Paris (2010), “Jerusalem Celestial, Jerusalem Terrestrial” (2008); “Sept manières de dire merci” in collaboration with Alliance Française Paris, Bahrain (April 2009), Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine (May 2009), Bogotá, Colombia (July 2009), Italy (October 2009), “De l'Urbain à l'Humain”, Paris (2009). Vladimir Kara´s work embodies figurative symbolism: “inspiration is historical or modern; a subtle game is played out which takes place at an invisible border, where the figurative evidence is nothing more than the limit and the mask of a symbolic representation”. “Employing a symbolic and figurative vocabulary, I try to address the perennial challenge of a blank canvas. As a critical part of my work I seek to highlight the way biblical and mythological themes ring true in today’s world by forcing us to ask enduring questions.” |
