Ekaterina Adelskaya
Ekaterina Adelskaya is a London-based artist, working on abstract sculptures and watercolours, mostly revolving around destruction and transformative processes. Psychology, philosophy and processes of physical decay provide sources of inspiration. She was born in Moscow, and graduated from the Russian State University of Cinematography in 2012.
She says: “My research revolves around the themes of materiality, destruction and transformation. Focusing on non-traditional methods of art-making such as burning, melting or dissolving, I explore materials’ ‘potentiality’ and their physical properties. Transformation of matter, for me, is part of our existence, it’s life itself – we adapt, thrive and decay in a constant flow of change. Working mainly with textile, clay and watercolour, I blur the boundaries between 2D and 3D.”
