"Plane. Space. Geometry" Automatic translate

On March 7, 2019, on the eve of International Women’s Day, a new exhibition project by curator Tatyana Paleeva “Plane. Opened” opens at the All-Russian Museum of Decorative, Applied and Folk Art Space. Geometry".

The participants in the project were Honored Art Worker of the Russian Federation, professor of MGHPA im. S. G. Stroganova Fedor Lvovsky, People’s Artist of the Russian Federation, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Arts Natalya Muradova and winner of several International Ceramic Biennials in Seoul (Korea), awards of the Union of Designers “For High Design” Victor Reshetnikov.

F. Lvovsky is a recognized master of classical wall tapestries, textile panels and curtains, which are located in the meeting rooms of the Government House of the Russian Federation, in the Moscow City Hall, in the Polytechnic Museum and other places. N. Muradova is engaged in textiles all her life. Her highly artistic works adorn the residence of the President of the Russian Federation in the Kremlin, the State Tretyakov Gallery, the spaces of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in Moscow, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. Victor Reshetnikov works in ceramics, creating modular structures and volumetric-spatial compositions from separate simple geometric forms.

All authors have repeatedly participated in both personal and group exhibitions of monumental and decorative art in the museum of DPI.

Giving each author his own individual space, the curator invites us to first get acquainted with the ideas, artistic principles and techniques of each of them, and then unites them in a common room. So, not only the richness and diversity of the possibilities of working with different materials is demonstrated with the innovative and authorial approach of the authors, but their similarities and differences are also shown in terms of spatial and architectural features of the interior.

The exhibition presents various types of textile works by Fedor Lvovsky from monumental classical tapestry, wall panels to volumetric-spatial compositions. In recent years, his two main areas of interest include two themes: avant-garde compositions based on the traditions of Russian avant-garde art, and harmonization of the relationship between man and nature, more broadly - man and the cosmos. His “… monumental images are associative and similar to the movement of natural, cosmic forces” (NP Beschastnov). They not only serve the tasks of the rhythmic, decorative and volume-plastic variety of the interior, but are also full-fledged figurative works of art that are filled with the sound of color and light and turned to what is called “world harmony”.

Natalya Muradova went quite far away from the traditional trellis, while preserving in many works the flat character of the author’s works, which are not always legitimately called textile.

Her work uses a wide variety of purely textile techniques, such as classical weaving, embroidery, sewing, printing on fabric, painting on fabric and others. She is fluent in assemblage, patchwork and those commonly used in creating national costumes: embroidery, glass beads, appliqués, the inclusion of various materials, etc.

Many works, for example, printing on canvas, watercolor on paper, being formally non-textile works, “imitate” tapestries and are perceived by the viewer as such. At the same time, complex works combining classical textile techniques with technological photography techniques, pictorial and graphic parts, as well as decoration elements represent unique author’s pictorial textile paintings creating a unique and original style of Natalya Muradova.

Separately, it is necessary to say about the complex philosophical and poetic component of her works. In some of them, the text is included in the fabric of the work and becomes an equal part of it along with the textile, pictorial, photo and graphic parts.

Victor Reshetnikov continues in his work the traditions of the avant-garde, especially Kazimir Malevich and Vasily Kandinsky. Combining these traditions with the ideas of constructivism, he builds multidimensional structures from ceramic objects, combining similar forms in a given rhythm. Sometimes these are plastic forms, likened to complex natural formations that are associated with biological forms. “I have non-figurative ceramics, plotless, shape, texture, size, color - my song, that’s what I’m interested in… Today, porcelain, red clay are made completely unexpected forms, taking into account the discoveries of bionics, the use of a microscope. The ability to see at the cellular level gives rise to a new form. It is not the plot that creates the new objects, but the natural perfect shaping that has crystallized over thousands of years ”(V. Reshetnikov).

The author himself believes that the formation of his style was influenced by Japanese and European architectural traditions, as well as the landscapes and traditions of his native Ossetia.

He defines his style as a new minimalism and constructivism. The author considers experimenting with various materials and forms to be especially valuable.
