Big exhibitions of modern Odessa photos and media artists are not often held in Odessa, Ukraine.
The name selected by the author might mislead the viewer, who came just to rest. Yes, these works are beautiful and do not relate “social issues”, so beloved by many people, but in them it’s seen an intelligence, keen on modeling and analysis of various difficult situations. Pain and pleasure, fear and entailing, surface and true, free and tight – all these products of our consciousness are materialized by the artist. Many images are intentionally erotic and flamboyant, which is also not new, but still works.
Abstract works created by the artist from everyday situations are extremely interesting. Looking at these works, one can remember that abstraction comes from a desire to abstract from the particulars in search of basic primary forms.
The exhibition runs from April 17 to May 14 at the Museum of Contemporary Art.
Address: 8, Frantsuzskiy Boulevard.
