The personal exhibition of paintings by the artist Andrei Romasyukov in the Mokhovaya-18 Gallery is an interesting event for art lovers. Based on the term “μεταφορά” - a metaphor (from the Greek “transference”, “figurative meaning”), the artist formed his vision of this exposition. The figurative, symbolic series, the interweaving of history, philosophy and mythology create recognizability of the painter’s works. In a rigorous, verified drawing and composition, the artist often effectively intersperses the elements inherent in the image of the new time, a “metaphor” hidden by the human mind. According to the painter Andrei Romasyukov: “Sometimes it’s worth looking at the World from a different angle, its events, people and phenomena transform into characters of myths and parables, thanks to an artistic vision. Primitive bulls, birds, lions, angels are far from accidental…… Like a kaleidoscope of decayed heraldic elements begins to live its own life. The diversity of cultures has left us a huge number of signs and symbols. One such symbol is the unicorn. This mythological creature, from Greek policies to the Moscow kingdom, appears on coins and on military banners. ”

In the medieval tradition, the unicorn is a symbol of purity and wisdom, this image of the leitmotif appears in many works of the author. The human mind, tormented by doubts and passions, is always in the pursuit of truth, like a hunter rushing after a unicorn. Painting on a wooden panel becomes a form of exposure, where the viewer’s consciousness goes back to the depths of the Middle Ages, when the “board” was the artist’s primary tool.

This is not the first solo exhibition of Andrei Romasyukov’s works in the Mokhovaya-18 gallery of contemporary art, and every time connoisseurs of painting are waiting for her and appreciating them, willingly purchasing works in their collections.
