Klara Golitsyna. Now and here. Anniversary exhibition dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the artist Automatic translate

The art of Klara Golitsyna lives in the tradition of game culture, in the strategies of artistic improvisation and at the same time it belongs to disciplinary art forms.

The first creative impulse of the artist is always turned to the phenomenon of randomness associated with his cultural memory - with a photograph or a reproduction of a work born of her personal way of life. A concrete sketch revealing the vector structure of the “preliminary” work, ready-made, is gradually turning into a network structure. Its general plan, close to the drawing construction, is surrounded by internal linear connections, plastic communications, fastened by hinged support points. Evolving in the duration of the creative process, the emerging composition develops according to the law of the musical score, recalling the early films of Oscar Fisher, where the play of lines is identified with the dynamics of sound and its “topography”. Forming visual dramatic art, the plastic elements of Clara Golitsyna, obeying the random, gain harmonic integrity. Their imagery lives in diagonals, at intersections, multiplying the density of their own information and pointing to its universality. These outwardly formalized dancing structures can be really “heard”, they collide, fixing the place of their meetings, freely flow into each other, changing the angles of “plastic” optics, and are removed in order to regain agreement and balance in the following combinations.

The creative principles of Klara Golitsyna “flicker” in the space of two poles: between “play” and “game” - a game as the fullness of improvisation and a game according to the rules.

They exist in the naturalness of breathing, in the rhythms of "tide" and "low tide", combining natural organics and intellectual insights.
