OVERCOMING OF LONELINESS
Painting (as well as any present{true} art) is improbably sensitive to an essence of time, its{his} secrets, fears, hopes … the Rhythm of an epoch, its{his} power, always неосознанно are reflected in music, the literary statement, is freakish and потаённо leave "traces" on a canvas of the artist. Time silently addresses to the master inquiry.
The end of a century of the past - the beginning present ascertained "weariness" of a postmodernism in which EVERYTHING has been admissible, and any Text became the World in which settled симулякры, allocated инфернальными features. Phantoms of "death" - the author, the subject and object of creative dialogue, true, - it seemed, have for a long time lodged on pages of novels, on the telescreen, on canvases of artists. Интертекстуальность emphasized исчерпанность searches of the modern language, new dialogue with itself and with eternity - all was, was, was. The existential loneliness of the person who has lost in time … became obvious
Alexander Ivanov - very modern and duly artist. Its{his} painting is interesting to me for a long time. That not noticing, it{he} as it seems to me, has passed{has taken place} a complex{difficult} way of influences of a postmodern on its{his} handwriting. I saw, how themes of its{his} works varied колор, color. There were periods of citing and imitation (and who avoids it{this}?), painful searches of the language, crises and rises … However it is important, that Alexander Ivanov - the master who is being constant movement.
The postmodernist loneliness, the rationality of a stroke verified архитектоника of the image for the present "are actively enough read" on its{his} cloths. Переполненность plots, in the images, ideas, moods today becomes that объдиняющей road on which it{he} goes from a century of the past to a century new.
Theatrical allegorical meaning of life experience will successfully enough be recoded by Alexander Ivanov on language of the painting overcoming postmodernist безавторность and безадресность. The major feature of the present{true} art - an innuendo - all proves in its{his} works more distinctly{clearly}. Dispassionateness and остранённость picturesque language offers all to the spectator an opportunity of their decoding and correlation with own experience and the guessed validity. Here again not so it is important, that is represented in a picture - the person, the machine{car}, a landscape, city …
The structure of picturesque space is organized by the artist so, that forces to experience the possible{probable} way done by the invented character or a subject. Light effects, enchantling patches of light only emphasize dialectics of an image. Strange and melancholic наездница (work « the Magic way ») whether leaves{abandons} « city gold », whether sends on searches of other "fairy tale", other cities. For me this work became a metaphor of creative searches of Alexander Ivanov last years.
Overcoming of a power field of a postmodernism today is expressed at it{him} at presence of original style which not only is recognized, but through it{him} "appears through" experience of subconscious search of the Ideal. The postmodernism is deprived original style, any ideal is alien to it{him}.
Alexander Ivanov manages to be kept in works on that rather unsteady side which separates the obvious citation from the original image, «красивость», more often trite (see the hand-made articles exposed on sale in the center of any big city), from really aesthetically organized space of a canvas.
These important postulates are present at Alexander Ivanov's all works of last time. Not so important, on what it is riveted attention of the spectator - to Islands, not to audible dialogue of dwarfs (work "Conversation") or to city which is not present on a card{map} … Except for the harmonized space, "is always read" secret, destiny, perhaps, the character or a subject.
Alexander Ivanov often draws the "" Avalon, which is fantastic-fantastic designs the spectator always sees from height of the bird's flight. It is necessary to guess, who (lonely? Forgotten? Left{abandoned}?) can occupy these "locks" costing{standing} in the middle of infinite ocean. Perhaps, in them there lives the artist? Then it{he} ascertains the loneliness. Certainly, it only a guess not once visiting{attending} close{attentive} созерцателя of pictures of the artist which неосознанно speaks about itself even if represents something инфернальное and abstract.
Alexander Ivanov's works метафористичны though names of pictures sometimes give rise to opposite senses and аллюзии. « Machines{Cars} of dialogue » turn in certain essence of misunderstanding (необщения), even tearing away and aversion to a gender attribute, more likely. Masks of passions and rest are turned to to themselves; the senseless mechanisms which have got up on close and uncomfortable "small houses", only fix sensation of loneliness, механистичности opportunities of dialogue, but its{his} full absence. Someone has told, that on the Earth there are only two nations - men and women. This work on them, about an eternal problem of misunderstanding and clothing of masks. The inscription in mysterious and nonexistent language only fixes emotion of emptiness and impossibility of an explanation and mutual understanding between them.
The motive of loneliness appearing in art концептах the author on many works, always, however, is interfaced{integrated} and to motive of hope. Let « City gold » or « City of dreams » are not populated by inhabitants exulting unjustly. The main thing, that always remains hope, that in these "cities", on Alexander Ivanov's forgotten islands people, the best people to what also the master, and you, undoubtedly, concerns will lodge, the thoughtful spectator, will suffice whose imagination, that in « city gold » and a life to make joyful and happy.
