Triumph Gallery presents a solo exhibition by Liza Bobkova titled "About the Blinded Yesterday of a Long Evening That Is Today." The project brings together a series of metal sculptures developed over three years, along with a porcelain installation and a series of graphic works.
The sculptural series recreates images of childhood toys that have "returned" to the artist after undergoing their own journey—distorted, burned, and damaged by unknown events that have left a visible and indelible mark on them. The prototypes of these figures were originally developed in ink on paper and remained unchanged throughout the process. The concise silhouettes of the sculptures retain an inseparable connection to their graphic origins and their inherent lightness of perception, even after acquiring substantial weight and volume. The installation of burned chairs, which have lost their function and transformed into symbolic forms, prompts reflection on the impossibility of stopping and attaining rest.

For the artist, it is important that the completed sculptures gain corporeality and autonomy, becoming independent entities. What is essential is not their completion or static nature, but their inherent potential for transformation. Although the images may appear like frozen still frames, the relationships that arise between the object and the viewer are both immediate and extended in time. They not only open up space for interpretation but also allow for the experience of narratives—whether imagined or captured in the moment.
