To the artist Yelena Popova invisibility is both a potent political issue and a formal device capable of capturing the attention of an audience exhausted by an image-saturated culture. Popova refers to the paintings in her ‘Evaporating’ series as ‘transparent images’ which ‘recede into the raw fabric’. These paintings – although they appear to look back at 20th century movements such as futurism and constructivism – are influenced by digital culture. Popova explains that ‘the disembodiment of screen-based images’ and certain touch-screen gestures is echoed in her painterly technique.
