La Realtà

The reality can’t be seen directly. The subconscious of a human being determines their perception, actions, and sensations. There exists a literal, physical reality in which a person lives, i.e., their surroundings, occupation, etc., but there also exists a reality within the subconscious, i.e., their thoughts, sensations, dreams, and goals, which are often not perceived by those around them yet are far more real and significant than their literal reality. Over time, the reality existing in a person’s consciousness or subconscious becomes apparent in their physical reality (following the principles of quantum physics). The world of the subconscious bursts forth in the form of moods, emotions, and intentions, which manifest in actions and deeds.

By displaying paintings united under the name La Realtà, I slightly reveal a reality that has already been part of my consciousness for some time. I “half-open” my subconscious, which shapes what can be perceived and plays an important role in the forms, colors, textures, and lines that make up my paintings. The further subconscious of the onlooker…

La Realtà

Reality may be commonly defined as “all that exists and which surrounds us”. The concept of reality is associated with the material world, the physical world in opposition to the spiritual or inner world of a human being. Such division is a simplification, because both worlds complement and merge with each other, one conditions the other like consciousness and subconscious. Emotions, feelings, thoughts, aims, desires, dreams...Reality is a complicated sequence of events, which compose into the present, fragments of the future and thoughts that flow into the future. Reality is liquid, ever changing, hard to seize, hard to verbalize. It is an individual thing. Can it be shaped, can it be given a colour, can it be translated into the language of things?

Eva Harut’s exhibition La Realtà consists of 21 pieces of work made with mixed techniques on cardboard. The artist started to create them in December 2011. Most of the works are collages of painting, drawing and bits of hand written paper sheets. The author mainly used four colours: white, blue, red and black.

In some works random spots of paint dominate from which emerge simplified, half-abstract figures of a man and a woman. These figures don’t have features or faces since here only the feelings, the visible and invisible threads existing between them matter. Those are not dreams but the reality which the man and woman live. Red, black, white, blue reality…The hand written pieces of paper which appear here and there are filled with fragments of tenderness and reality of love.

La Realtà is an attempt of transcribing a strictly specified reality. We tread into an individual and intimate world by the means of fragmentary narration made up of torn sentences and expressive gestures. However, we do not feel strange there, because relations with another human are natural to each and every one of us.

The works of Eva Harut were created somewhere on the frontier or material and immaterial, consciousness and subconscious which constantly merge and cannot exist without the other – just like two human beings;the man and the woman.
