2010 – UPTOWN
Seemingly informed by a more abstract approach to his work, Vesselin releases his already middling stylistic inhibitions throughout this cycle, layering solid three-dimensional textures and arranging them as fountains of color. The seams of his canvases appear to burst from the pressure of these color fountains with figures emerging from their liquid. These figures, appearing as couples seem to symbolize the result of a kaleidoscopic birth of sorts. Instead of infants being birthed from these showers of color, relationships are born and camaraderie is cultivated on the canvas.
