Come Harpies And Banshees And Gorgons And Witches!
2022
Around the immense hill, fanning the wind in the hood of your distant dream, lies an allegorical story of the dilemma of remembering or forgetting. It portrays the daily drama of transience and loss, with various materials tending to take on an archaic handicraft quality. These materials include a collapsed roof of an abandoned house, broken pieces of flooring, weeds around the rubbish dump, and ready-made objects on land in the Canary Islands. This installation is accompanied by a continuous sound of crows’ screams emanating from speakers installed in a wooden structure, representing birds that do not inhabit that land.

They Don’t Have Names But We Walk Together A Lot
2022
In one room, twigs and sticks were gathered in various sculptural formations on the floor and inside some furniture. Geometry of the room with deconstructed furniture was finely-tuned as an oppositional force where each corner of it was held in suspension. The static objects seemingly become animated while consistently revealing the physical qualities of the used support. This referenced the awareness of anxiety and depression as political issues and explored the avoidance of decisive action. It also delves into the reflection of when and where these actions become relevant.

Sudden Beginning
2023
The impulse of manipulating with light is less a question of strategy than of sensibility, For me it is a point of departure for deeper searches from the “inside” to the “outside” and back again, while remaining tied to a constant and uninterrupted surface.
Even from an apparently dormant state, the sunlight will move towards an inaccessible point, doubling back onto upon itself to the tangential beginning of something previously inchoate, grounded in histories like the and possibility that spills with love across a landscape on a sunny day.

Scenes And Stages
2022
‘Collection of collaged and found-object paintings on pieces of broken, dried, discarded, and weathered wood, installed in the back corner of the gallery.
These works were not inspired by or even made (except for one or two) during the 2022 escalation of the Russian invasion, they incarnate the collective and creative spirit of Ukraine. Scattered on the wall, like seashells on the beach, Kadzevich’s paintings are unheroic in a grand sense. Yet, each and every one is as precious and loud as the mark of eccentricity and experience they allude to. On one horizontal chunk of dried wood titled The Fragility of Distance (Hrupkost Distanczij) (2021) is a ski jumper. The viewer is tasked with an engagement with artistic gestures whose reality overwhelms the white cube; creating language from stone, from steel, from wood and vowels, to stage the everyday incomprehensible of war’. {Extract of the article by Thyrza Nichols Goodeve for The Brooklyn Rail}

The Dilemma Of Diorama
2023
The half-offered, half-withheld structure of a diorama provides a space for aleatory and open representation. The painting placed above the diorama can be viewed from dierent perspectives becoming part of through various shared environment.
The paintings surrounding the diorama gesture to spaces elsewhere and are based on found photographs of mirrors and their reflections*. At the core of The Dilemma of Diorama, clear visibility and condition of knowability are subverted. A world is presented that can simultaneously be stored and displayed.
*These photographs were found on an Ukrainian online marketplace website. I consider these images of mirrors a tool for recording historic conditions, an ephemeral social/material matrix of a certain moment in time. They form an archive, which I started gathering since the beginning of war.
