The magic of moments from Marianna Abramova at the Kiev National Museum of Russian Art Automatic translate

Since July 12, visitors to the Kiev Museum of Russian Art can appreciate over 40 paintings by contemporary artist Marianna Abramova, who presented her exhibition “Some moments”. Her work is a way to feel every elusive moment. Each picture is like a cry, or rather the proclamation of life. Therefore, in her works you rarely see half-tones, only bright, rich colors. Their opposition and harmony. The contrast of blue and red, as if two fundamental life - the mind and feelings.

With such a worldview, life becomes like a living canvas, any episode becomes worthy of the artist’s brush. And canonical norms lose their former meaning. Looking at the pictures, you involuntarily notice - our memory is filled with such images. Even when the events or the atmosphere of the past seem blurred, things still remain that have not been erased. Bright fragments of bygone days piercing the soul to this day. Similarly, the paintings of Marianne - amaze with their sensuality and the inspiration of the most banal things.

The deliberate denial of academic technology, the deformation of objects, in order to create an atmosphere of confrontation, conflict on the canvas - all this makes the exposition live.
