Two headlights shine in the clear night at a bend in a road that plunges into the forest: painted with acrylic ink on wood, this painting of
Taisiia Cherkasova's exhibition, amidst other imagined memories, at the Galerie Dominique Fiat, captivated us. What do these beacons tell us?
marking the vanishing point of the canvas entitled Drive me crazy? The flight from the homeland? The hope of renewal? The quest for refuge?

Born in 1991 in Dnipro in eastern Ukraine, Taisiia Cherkasova now lives in Aubervilliers, in Poush, where she shares a studio
with five other artists. After experimenting with various techniques ranging from oil painting to wax, modeling clay, and collage, she settled on airbrushed acrylic inks. A technique unique to rendering " the elusive aspect "of memory" never fixed "which, like a dream, is a living phenomenon, takes different forms, and is constantly transforming "...

And so we are transported into this misty nocturnal landscape on the road of dreams to journey, on the edge of madness, through our own memories and phantasmagorias in the clear night of our reveries.
