Anna Boghiguian @ Sylvia Kouvali, London

Anna Boghiguian’s work Living Amidst the Death, is a eulogy to a place soon to become past.  Living in the City of the Dead, shows a seated figure to the right, contemplating its existence. A telephone in the middle of the canvas, and the writing ‘IF HE/SHE CALLS…SILENCE’ runs like a frieze or a modern LED sign above the capitals of the columns, signifying the absence of presence, even when the phone rings,  The colours are vibrant and the presence of pomegranates and bottles suggest life, a contradiction only a place like this carries.
