Rome-based Russian artist, Ekaterina Panikanova uses open-faced books, carefully aligned with one another, as a large canvas for each of her paintings in a series titled Errata Corrige. Her work explores deep childhood memories such as images, traumas and experiences that we all uniquely endure and then later carried over into our adult life.
This excerpt from My Modern Met sums up Panikanova’s work nicely:
“Like a hidden message or puzzle, her works are applied across unspecified pages on each book. Furthermore, with some of her paintings (which are more like installations), there is a puzzling three-dimensionality to them as the pages are not bound down. Instead, they flow freely and add not only layers, but also a sense of texture to the piece.”
