Painting
In the gallery halls

“This exhibition is a collection of works made during the last years.
These are works of matrix type, aimed at overgrowth and metamorphosis of painting field, varying and oversetting the existing theme.
All works from this collection are exposed for the first time.
I never choose or make up a theme, it’s life itself which from time to time brings me close to some object or word, and in surprise I stumble upon my own feeling. And it turns out that the word or the object have already transformed in my mind into a desire to paint. I don’t know how to paint, and yet more willingly and intensively I get down to work. At this very moment the internal resource of invading feelings clears up, as well as my readiness to clarify it till reaching the necessary coloristic consistency and expressiveness. Sometimes a big format and an easily defines composition are enough, but more often a series appears, arranged during the work into one whole matrix composition. There is no one single theme or a prevailing genre like landscape-portrait in the project, but there is a dramatic absence of time, place and action. I would like this unity of absence to strengthen presence of the painting principle to distinct visualization. To fill the four exhibition capacities of the gallery like “pen-cases”, same as the mean knight’s chests were full.
But it’s necessary to keep the secret and the question whether I myself know this secret. Without extra mysticism: there is a secret”.
