Exhibition "Thread of Images" Automatic translate

From April 1 to 23, 2016, Marina Kuznetsova’s personal exhibition “The Thread of Images” will be held at the Mokhovaya-18 Gallery of Contemporary Art.

The work of Marina Kuznetsova is a string of images where, at first glance, unpretentious objects appear in a new, or rather, true quality. The author transforms, it seemed, habitual reality, revealing a new vision of familiar things. Her works are infinitely attractive and captivate the viewer in a special world where the "quiet life of things" takes place, and this is precisely the essence of the still life. The subject becomes neither an appendix to anything, but the main character, the keeper of the story, ready to tell it. And the craftsmanship and technique used by the author play a special role here.

Watercolor is the most airy of all painting techniques - a light touch of the brush and an image filled with light and air come to life on paper. It is registered, voluminous. It seemed material, but there is a special mystery in watercolor painting - the feeling of a certain incorporeality, fragility - created by the properties of the material.

And objects seem like reflections, echoes of real sonorous utilitarian things - images that carefully preserve history, memories. They are solemn and unhurried, they keep the memory of a summer sunny day at sea, of happiness, of something very personal… and only a thin, subtle thread indicates the path to the innermost corners of memory.

Each house has a shell, a stone, a piece of glass or an old shabby key, which is more expensive than all jewelry. After all, memories are preserved in him…

The artist goes through objects very carefully, like treasures, barely touching them with a light, quick brush, like a butterfly’s wing, to materialize them for the viewer on paper, but not to erase the aura of memory that covers them like a precious patina. And the author shares this wealth with us.

The exhibition can be visited daily from 11. 30 to 19. 30, the day off is Sunday. Address: st. Mokhovaya, d. 18, www.gm18.ru
