Crossroad 

Kaloust Guedel’s ‘Crossroad’ is a mixed media installation piece which incorporates various materials such as metal, acrylic, and spray paint. Born in 1956, Guedel’s work emerges from a generation that witnessed profound shifts in cultural values and artistic practices. The late 20th century was a period marked by the rise of globalization, the questioning of traditional hierarchies, and the exploration of diverse identities. In this piece, the layering of transparent and reflective materials can be seen as a metaphor for the complexities of identity. The shiny surfaces might represent the superficial aspects of modern life, while the obscured layers hint at deeper, often hidden, realities. The word “crossroad” alludes to moments of decision and transition. In this sense, ‘Crossroad’ becomes an exploration of the choices and paths that shape our lives. Guedel’s installation offers a reflective space, inviting us to contemplate the multifaceted nature of existence.
