SUMMARY:YANA DIMITROVA: Between Four Mountains
DESCRIPTION:MIYAKO YOSHINAGA is pleased to present the solo exhibition entitled Between Four Mountains by Yana Dimitrova(b.1983)\, a New York-based\, Bulgarian-born painter and mixed-media artist. This is the artist’s third solo presentation at the gallery and the inaugural exhibition at its new Upper East Side location (24 East 64thStreet). The exhibition will run from November 22 to December 21\, 2019.  An artist reception will be held on Friday\, November 22nd from 6pm to 8pm. \nYana Dimitrova is a classically trained painter informed by contemporary theory and practice. Her work explores the interplay between artist\, subject and viewer. For Dimitrova\, her work is a conduit of her life as an immigrant and an artist – ideas around arriving and leaving behind\, family and culture. Painting is a universal voice that can empower human experience and provide a sense of universality. “I hope to build onto the capacity of painting as a social medium\, whilst creating a platform for interpersonal and collective agency.”

SUMMARY:YANA DIMITROVA: Between Four Mountains
DESCRIPTION:MIYAKO YOSHINAGA is pleased to present the solo exhibition entitled Between Four Mountains by \nYana Dimitrova (b.1983)\, a New York-based\, Bulgarian-born painter and mixed-media artist. This is the \nartist’s third solo presentation at the gallery and the inaugural exhibition at its new Upper East Side location \n(24 East 64th Street). The exhibition will run from November 22 to December 21\, 2019. An artist \nreception will be held on Friday\, November 22nd from 6pm to 8pm. \nYana Dimitrova is a classically trained painter informed by contemporary theory and practice. Her work \nexplores the interplay between artist\, subject and viewer. For Dimitrova\, her work is a conduit of her life as an \nimmigrant and an artist – ideas around arriving and leaving behind\, family and culture. Painting is a universal \nvoice that can empower human experience and provide a sense of universality. “I hope to build onto the \ncapacity of painting as a social medium\, whilst creating a platform for interpersonal and collective agency.” \nDimitrova’s work is a heady mix of vibrant colors and exuberant brushstrokes that create palpable emotion. \nThe viewer is swept up in her consciousness and reminisces alongside her despite not having been physically \npresent at inception. The large canvas painting titled “A Remembered Imagined Landscape” portrays a lush \nriverbank and sprawling mountain ranges – a landscape full of memory and motifs – with a barely perceptible \nhuman face in the distance\, instilling a sensory familiarity. “Map of Love and Suffering”\, a gouache painting \nfunctioning as a tapestry prototype\, is inspired by conversations with a fellow immigrant and Bulgarian folk \nsinger. The theme mirrors experiences of Dimitrova’s own parents and grandparents. Another large painting\, \n“Parallel Portrait 1” is an affectionate and ubiquitous portrayal of shopkeepers in the community that have \nwelcomed her in. She depicts imagined and remembered places and people\, some of whom no longer exist\, \nbased on visual recollections as well as simple verbal descriptions told by others. \nFor Between Four Mountains \, Dimitrova spent time with her family\, friends and neighbors in Bulgaria \nand her current base in Brooklyn\, conversing\, enquiring and connecting. The work conveys a sense of place \nand people described lovingly and longingly. By including fragments of stories and the emotional charge of \nconversations exchanged\, Dimitrova weaves together the multi-faceted complexity of human memory and \nincorporate themes of struggle\, empowerment and interpersonal relationships. Between Four Mountains \ntransforms the gallery into a community space\, where painterly dialogues unite people and build alliances\, \nand exist as unique social tools for storytelling. \nYana Dimitrova studied painting and printmaking\, achieving both her BFA and MFA from Savannah \nCollege of Art and Design. She is currently conducting an international practice-lead PhD research at LUCA \nSchool of Arts in Brussels/Ghent\, Belgium with focus on painting as a medium of empowerment. She has \nshown at various national and international venues such as The Rockefeller Brothers Fund (New \nYork)\, Aronson Gallery (New York)\, Walke (Brussels\, Belgium)\, OAZO (Amsterdam)\, Gallery Twenty-Four \n(Berlin\, Germany)\, NXNW (Manchester\, UK)\, Sofia City Gallery Museum and Credo Bonum (Sofia\, Bulgaria)\, \nField Projects\, Flux Factory\, NARS Foundation\, and Miyako Yoshinaga Gallery (New York). Her work is in the \ncollection of Republic of Bulgaria Ministry of Culture Fund\, Sofia City Gallery Museum National Art Fund\, The \nRockefeller Brothers Fund\, SCAD Museum\, Paula and Glen Wallace collection\, and numerous international \nprivate collections. Dimitrova is currently a part-time professor at Parsons The New School for Design in New \nYork City. \n
