Designed by Katia Lyubavskaya.
Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction that incorporates retro-futuristic aesthetics of industrial steam-powered machinery. The casual finger drawings, which I would describe as punk-like, on a misted mirror have nothing to do with the original steampunk genre. However, they perfectly illustrate the term in a new visual interpretation.
This series of artworks looks the most random and sketchy, unlike my other series. In life, finger drawing on a misted surface always happens in the moment, and you never think about the composition or beauty of the image. But in my works, all the elements and dripping drops are located in their places, exactly as I draw in 2D. The thickness of the lines of the drawing corresponds to the average thickness of a human finger, as well as the trace of a dripping drop. The artwork for the exhibition titled ‘;) x :))’ is a kind of visual pun. It is making fun of dimensional lines, their strictness and personification of precision, drawn in the style of my 'Steampunk' series, and instead of numbers, I put smiley text symbols on them. The additional fun is that there will be dimensions of the dimension lines in the accompanying drawing.
— Care: do not wash with acetone-containing products
— Size (L x W x H in cm): 60 x 60 x 0.5
— Weight: 3.5 kg
— Materials: mirror, matte finish, polymer gel
