… geometry (like poetry, painting, sculpture, music) is a product of a person’s need for spirituality, knowledge and beauty. The truth seems to be somewhere in between. / B.M. Tikhomirov /

The ARTMUZA Museum of Modern Art presents a joint project “The Geometry of the Soul” by members of the St. Petersburg Union of Artists and members of the St. Petersburg Union of Designers.

Beauty begins with form. This is a form taken in unity with the content. Both in life and in art, the manifestations of beauty are unusually diverse. Plato pointed out how difficult it is to explain why they are beautiful.

The peculiarity of geometry, distinguishing it from other branches of mathematics, and indeed from all areas of science in general, lies in the inextricable, organic combination of living imagination with strict logic.

Johannes Kepler said that geometry owns two treasures: the Pythagorean theorem and the Golden Section.

Attempts to at least get closer to the objective "laws of beauty" have been undertaken by mankind since antiquity: these are the mathematical laws of Pythagoras in music, and the geometric model of the Kepler universe, and the system of proportions in architecture, and the proportions of man, and the geometric laws of painting. Each creation is created first of all by the soul…

The synthesis of sculpture and graphics in our project is an interconnected, organic unity, as a result of which a new aesthetically-shaped quality of a holistic art exhibition project arises.

What is "art design"? This term causes heated debate among specialists.

We give our answer - this is the priority of the aesthetic principle, “designing emotions”, objects that do not claim to be practical use, since their utilitarian functions are veiled.

Art designers strive to touch the boundaries of the elusive, to break beyond the conditional limits of the essence of the object.
