Vitali Gelwich has spent over a decade developing his practice, now reaching a point of inflection, allowing him to further unravel his identity as an artist. This comes at a point in time where imaginative freedom or total simplicity is becoming scarcer. Finding beauty in the mundane and intimacy in the banal sits at the core of Gelwich?s inspiration. To honour this fervour, he presents the Boring Book. Filled with moments that would usually go unremembered, that may seem irrelevant now, but may be very relevant later. A retrospective of mostly unseen, uncommissioned, forgotten memories that are the purest representation of who Gelwich is and how he perceives the world.
