assume vivid astro focus
Assume Vivid Astro Focus (AVAF) works in a wide range of media including installations, painting, drawing, video, sculpture, neon and wallpaper. It often confronts entrenched cultural codes, gender and political issues through an overwhelming of colors and shapes. With a trajectory spanning two decades, AVAF became renowned for immersive and sensorially-loaded installations which bring together the chromatic and formal interaction in a unique way. The abundance of color has always been a characteristic trace of the artist work as a powerful converging way of communication.
