Artist Statement:
When I was a teenager, I
thought that the XXI century
— is an unachievable distant
future. And now this future
already came. Many things that
seemed as science fiction
before, now — the prosaic
reality.
But did it make people more
happy?
Modern man is so fed up of
visual information, that he
lost the ability to wonder.
Craft of visual simulation has
reached such a degree of
perfection that absolutely
everything become possible.
But did it make people began
to feel more acutely?
A XXI century resident is
racing through his life with
escape velocity. The visual
aspect of the world rushes in
front of him like a continuous
tape, and his eyes have time
to grab only the most glaring
and outstanding, most new and
unusual. But even this he does
not manage to feel in a full
range. Because new information
is no longer waiting — it's
climbing into his eyes and
pushed by the next, like the
passengers in the Tokyo
subway.
My painting — is a story
about the beauty of light and
color in the stopped moment of
time. No conceptual nonsense
or ultra-supernova "ideas".
Simply painting. Oil on
canvas. In the same way as ...
