Exhibition "Through the Form" Automatic translate

From November 20, 2019 to January 25, 2020 in the space ABRAMOVA GALLERY in ARTPLAY SPb there will be an exhibition “Through the Form”, which will present the paintings of Andrei Syaglov and the sculpture and graphics of Fyodor Krushelnitsky.

One of the heroes of this exhibition - Fedor Krushelnytsky, casts sculptures to the limit of concrete and subject. Another - Andrei Syaglov, creates abstract landscapes. Syaglov’s painting is intriguing: what does all this mean? The objects of Krushelnytsky confidently provide answers to questions. What links such different approaches? How did these “dissimilar” works end up in one space?

Behind the tight metal bars of Krushelnytsky’s sculptures are hidden geometric shapes and lines: distinct squares, circles, ovals and triangles. The narrative body of the sculptures rests on a strict geometric frame. Behind plastic images hides a well-considered architectonics. The same system of constructions can be traced in the abstractions of Andrei Syaglov. He, like Krushelnytsky, is an artist of the philosophical warehouse. He shifts his impressions of life into forms and textures on canvas. For him, the creation of form is the search for the physical embodiment of his own sensations. Nevertheless, Saglov tries on himself the role of a constructor. The artist builds his compositions: composes and adjusts the colored planes to each other, divides the canvases along the tiers, searches for the ideal proportion akin to architects of antiquity.

The works of Fyodor Krushelnitsky and Andrei Syaglov are undoubtedly different. One forms abstract concepts, focuses primarily on the semantic core of sculpture. The other - creates its fictional landscapes and takes us away from reality. But the general thing is obvious: in philosophical and emotional reflections, artists do not neglect shaping. They do not get tired of building, do not get tired of working on architectonics: in painting, in sculpture… Their thought, one way or another, passes through form.

Andrei Syaglov was born in 1968 in Moscow. He graduated from the Moscow Textile Institute, Department of Applied Arts. Member of the Creative Union of Artists of Russia and the International Federation of Artists. Member of international and Russian exhibitions. Works are in private and corporate collections in Russia and other countries.

Fedor Krushelnytsky was born in 1963 in the Donbass. He graduated from the Uzhgorod Art College, as well as the sculpture department of the Art and Industrial Academy named after V. Mukhina in St. Petersburg. Member of the Union of Artists. The sculptor’s works are in the Sculpture Garden of the Faculty of Philology of St. Petersburg State University, in the contemporary art collection of the Central Exhibition Hall “Manege”, as well as in private collections.
