Tenderpixel Gallery is pleased to present its second solo exhibition by Boris Kajmak. The current exhibition, entitled Homes/Houses, is inspired by drawings of houses made by children. Kajmak challenges the notions that there is a ‘correct’ or ‘wrong’ sense of perspective. As an alternative mode of architecture, the emotional structures of children-drawn-houses are converted into maquettes. Kajmak points out that the usage of a vanishing point in geometrical perspective creates a pessimistic dead end, as figures and houses become smaller and ultimately vanish. In contrast, much like Escher’s infinite architecture, children’s drawings disregard the need for structural integrity and three dimensional accuracy, and opt for a more emotionally charged representation—akin to the tendency of paintings from antiquity to enlarge figures based upon their hierarchical or spiritual significance. Homes/Houses is the trans- formation of this thought-experiment into a physical set of model houses, resulting in a neighbourhood made of children’s imagination. Boris Kajmak was born in 1980 in Zadar, Croatia, and lives and works in London. He obtained a Masters in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in 2005. Kajmak’s designs and conceptual pieces have won numerous accolades and been exhibited across Europe and the United States.
