Cool S
2022
Sarieva, Plovdiv
Curated by Vesselina Sarieva

The exhibition includes new artworks made during the artist’s residency in Sarieva Gallery’s “Artist’s Studio”.

“The origin of the Cool S is obscure. During the 1970s, the photographer Howard Gribble made photos of Los Angeles, many of which contained the figure 8, much similar to the style of the Cool S. In 1973, Jon Naar’s famous graffiti photos of New York frequently displayed the same figure, which in this case is already identical with its modern example. During the 1990s, the Cool S became an international symbol of teenager culture, usually appearing on exercise-books, desks or walls.
The Cool S consists of 14 linear segments, forming a stylized, pointy S-shaped form. It has no reflective symmetry, but a double rotational symmetry. The figure has been compared to the symbol of eternity.”
