Words of a curator: This artwork, created by Geert Lemmers in 2024, showcases a masterful blend of acrylic and oil paint with pastels on a preprocessed wooden panel housed in a wooden frame. Embracing an abstract style, the piece epitomizes the genre of Abstract Symbolic and Mystical Art, manifested through a captivating design and intricate patterns . Each layer richly contributes to the tapestry of textures and colors, ranging from vibrant hues to subtle tones, reflecting the intricate balance of modernity with timeless themes of religion, city life, and ecclesiastical architecture.

Architect: "The reflection of infinity" the name of the installation enters a redevelopment of a park in the city of Gyumri in northern Armenia. the orientation of the pavilion is towards the Sev berd an important nineteenth-century fort and with the events of the history of this place. The pavilion serves as an observation point covered with a mirroring element. This reflection connects the statue of Mother Armenia to another important element representing in this way the strength, resilience, and protectiveness of the Armenian people. The pavilion could serve as a symbolic reflection of these qualities, emphasizing the idea of a mirrored image of strength and infinite possibilities. The design could incorporate reflective surfaces, and a black painted interior to symbolize the connection with the black tufff. The reflection of this element creates a mysterious symbolism capable of regenerating the entrance of this space towards new perspectives. At the same time, the pavilion becomes a dynamic game for the many children who visit this park. The construction material was provided by the Armenian company PROFAL.

Architectural Odyssey: Navigating the Seas of Knowledge In the grand narrative of architectural marvels, the British Library stands as a formidable flagship, a bastion of knowledge navigating the tempestuous seas of history. Anchored in the heart of London, it commands reverence and respect, much like the battleship Sir Colin Alexander St John Wilson once served upon in the Royal Navy Reserve. But amidst the solemnity of its corridors and the weight of its literary treasures, a whimsical dance unfolds—a dance between the past and the present, the sacred and the profane. Behold Newton, shrouded in bronze, his modesty preserved by a cloak of artistic reverence. A nod to William Blake's critique of scientific hubris, this sculpture by Eduardo Paolozzi is more than mere metal and mortar—it's a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between reason and imagination. And what of the architect's role in this intricate tapestry of creation? Like Job, grappling with the mysteries of existence, architects are tasked with navigating the labyrinthine complexities of design and construction. From blueprint to building, they wield their pens and brushes with the skill of seasoned artisans, crafting monuments to human ingenuity that stand the test of time. But beneath the veneer of artistic expression lies a deeper truth—a truth that speaks to the very essence of a job, a role, a work. For architects, it's not just about erecting structures; it's about shaping destinies, forging connections, and breathing life into the inert clay of possibility. So, as we gaze upon the shrouded figure of Newton and marvel at the architectural wonders that surround us, let us not forget the architects—the unsung heroes of our built environment. Theirs is a job like no other, a calling that transcends mere profession, and a legacy that echoes through the annals of time. #ArchitecturalOdyssey #KnowledgeVoyage #ArchitectsJourney #DesignExploration #BuiltEnvironment #LibraryLegacy #ArchitecturalHeritage #CreativeNavigation #ArchitectsRole #CulturalPreservation
