Quanta Dada Vancouver is an international online solo painting exhibition by Ivan Suvanjieff, opening on January 24, 2025, and running through March 24, 2025. This captivating exhibition invites viewers to a journey through abstract expression and defiant creativity.

Ivan Suvanjieff’s "Quanta Dada Vancouver" is a bold and evocative exploration of abstract expression, seamlessly blending the spirit of the Dada movement with contemporary challenges. This solo online exhibition brings forth a visual symphony of rebellion, reflection, and resilience. Each acrylic painting, from the stark interplay of light and dark in "Vestige I" to the fluid, organic forms of "Ethereal Reverberations," speaks to a world unbound by convention and alive with possibilities.

Suvanjieff’s ability to harness the chaotic beauty of the human condition is palpable in works such as "Fragmented Whispers," where layered textures suggest the complexity of thought, and "Quantum Pulse," where vibrant bursts of color echo the energy of a world in flux. His canvases pulsate with life, each stroke a declaration of individuality and defiance against societal norms.

Anchored by his personal experiences, including his journey with epilepsy, Suvanjieff’s art transcends mere aesthetics. His creative vision challenges the status quo, celebrating voices that perceive the world differently. This exhibition is not just an homage to the Dada movement of a century ago but a call for a new era of expression—Quanta Dada—where art serves as a beacon for freedom, authenticity, and resistance.

As Andrei Codrescu aptly stated, “I knew I could never escape Dada as long as a painter like this can create Quanta Dada.” Ivan Suvanjieff’s work reminds us that art has the power to question, to heal, and to unite. In the face of global uncertainty, "Quanta Dada Vancouver" stands as a testament to the enduring relevance of creativity, offering viewers a chance to reconnect with the raw, transformative essence of art.

Artist ( Description ): 

I am a multifaceted artist, and I have a career full of success. I also suffer from epilepsy, with seizures almost every day. I am keenly aware of the fact that if I had been born even 50 years earlier, my voice would have been silenced. Those who saw my epilepsy would have perhaps delivered me to "The Asylum for Epileptics and Epileptic Insane” in Ohio, which was located very close to my hometown. As a U.S. citizen, those like me with epilepsy were forbidden to marry, and sterilization was regularly performed on epileptics until 1956. I was born in 1957.

The negative stigma associated with the word "epilepsy" continues to be very strong. And for this reason, I always tell everyone I meet that I am an epileptic. It is a part of who I am. It allows me to see the world in a different way. I refuse to have my creativity cancelled.

And I am fiercely committed to defending the voices of those who see the world differently. Whatever my mode of expression, I constantly stand for free expression in a world dominated by a single thought and the established norm. This is the reason why I created my solo exhibition, "Quanta Dada, the New Dadaism". I was drawn to the Dada movement of 1910-1920, a period of intense pictorial and intellectual creativity, which sprang forth 100 years ago in a time which profoundly parallels our own. Dada was created in reaction to an era of of global pandemic, crushing autocracy, concentration of wealth, mega-corporate power, and a world on the brink of destruction. The parallels to our current lives in the 2020s are both striking and profound. It is time for a new Dadaism which challenges all established norms, Quanta Dada, in this new era where the human voice once again deserves to be defended.

"When I saw Ivan Suvanjieff's work that streams like a quantum computer, I knew that I would never escape from Dada as long as a painter like this can create Quanta Dada!"

Andrei Codrescu, journalist, art critic and author of "The Posthuman Dada Guide: Tzara and Lenin Play Chess" (Princeton University Press, 2009).
