Citta Samtana Diptych 344

“Citta Samtana” is a Sanskrit phrase translating loosely to “mental continuum” or mind stream. This series addresses themes around our current world of media and branding and its attempts to persuade, manipulate and coerce through subtle and suggestive imagery. Verbicky’s series present three-dimensional surfaces that transcend traditional painting and venture into the realm of sculpture, utilizing vintage media, graphics, advertisements and obsolete branding materials. Using acrylic paint, panel and resin, his abstraction attempts to capture both forgotten and persisting icons of media, remaindering the viewer that we are constantly being influenced with and by media.
