A young artist/architect explores the symbols and systems of translation through her artwork, inspired by the Rosetta Stone
Priyamvada Gaur, The Prism of Meaning, 10 in x 12 in (original), acrylic on canvas, 2018.
The image features part of a painting
by Priyamvada Gaur. The idiomaticĀ use of “Rosetta Stone” has
been done to refer to a key step in the process of translation in which a
correlation between symbols of different families and systems can be made. In
Priyamvada’s paintings, like in the early work of all artists, the beginnings
of the emergence of such a key can be seen in her repetitiveĀ use of
strokes, colour palettes and compositional strategies.
