ANTIQUA
About the collection The collection title is Latin for «The Perfect Space» . It consists of 69 prints, united in a unique group of 21 . The number 21 is sacred , as is the number of the Universe , which contains the quintessence of the divine Absolute. Number 69 is also a sacred meaning and combines these dual categories like yin and yang , male and female , high and low , and resembles the sign of Cancer, which has the properties of a full immersion in the mystical experiences . This project is an attempt to combine photography and print. Each print is an autonomous art object . Photo goes to print, the fabric , and it is not on the wall of the gallery space and not on the card or in a magazine , and on the human body. In this position the picture more effectively by optimizing the function of the ambient space, and expanding the boundaries of human perception . The source of the prints each had only one photo of a series of specific , additional elements of the other pictures do not prevnosit . From the point of view of trends that we see in the collection of the abundance of color combinations are not specific to the season 13/14 , which sets a whole new direction. At first glance it may seem that the theme of the collection is operated fractal reproduction, but its use here will mark a kind of convergence and the transition from a fractal kaleidoscopic vision , a new trend that is unique . A combination of hard and soft forms, and unusual color alloys emerging new trends and mark the transition from the mainstream. In some prints we see the texture of the fabric - Cell - pile, wool , suede , leather, textured and smooth combination of surfaces. Ideological components , the «soul» of the project - this is the concept of neo- Vedic vision of the world , neo- Vedic philosophy, which includes drevnevedicheskie knowledge , occultism, mysticism, theosophy , gestalt , Taoism , Hinduism , the basic concepts of modern clinical psychology. 100% is not possible to verbalize all the facets of meaning inherent in the project.
1 The asymmetry in combination with an extremely symmetrical prints. Kaleidoscopic vision, fractal. Hair in conjunction with crosses, diamonds and interesting coloring. Voodoo magic in its magic incarnation. Boggy pitch, combined with contrasting and interesting combinations, as well as all of the same reasons Laya Yoga. Belonging to a solar culture that best demonstrates the latest print, which is a kind of shamanic sun made of hair of a beautiful young, successful woman .
2 The uniqueness of the first prints in this series - a rethinking of the traditional motif of the plaid. This versatile print -to-use and unusual. Such a revision of the classical form can be the basis for the entire collection. The following prints in this series use Slavo - Aryan symbol of the swastika in its most pristine and peaceful meaning. Figure consists of squares and lines, which together give interesting combinations . Latitude of prints can use it not only occur on the fabric, but in the mosaic . The last print is ideologically closer to the Old Slavic beliefs than to neo Vedic .
3 Prints of this series due to the form of the circle refer to the religious - mystical motives in their various manifestations. They can be caught stained glass Medieval churches rosette motifs and baroque dome of the cathedral , if you look at it from the bottom. The close interweaving of meaning as futuristic and mythological motifs within each image . The color scheme of each prints or sends to something lowlands and mysterious ( dark ), or to a bright, absolute and ancient (light ) . In the present composition of the form of crosses and diamonds . Frame mesmerizes the audience and gives a three-dimensional image .
4 Prints of this series are unique, but they have universal application. Ornament can be entered in the plaid structure and not only. Three colors (blue, white and black) form a homogeneous and seamless web, which despite its simplicity has a complex pattern. Inside it you can see the image, resembling blue sapphires, and a whole pattern resembles a polished blue - white mosaic (smalt) .
5 The first print in its coloristics and sends the form to the ancient Slavic Vedic philosophy. The central character may refer to the subject of military regalia and resemble Nazi cross. But it is also the symbol looks like a shield , and the monarchy , mainly stamp . In addition, there are fractal motives , triangular shape and arrangement of the figures , referring to surrealism . Along the edges of prints - natural motifs (animalistic). The second print shows its commonality with the theme of ancient tales through ligature of ornament and pattern that resembles a shield .
6 The mystical atmosphere of the first print is created by the effect of beam drawing. Components of ornamentation reminiscent of an atomic or neuro structure or planetary rings. In the picture there is some bone structure. Again we see the motif of crosses, as well as natural and alchemical motifs. The second print translates roughly the same, but in a different form, and is closer to the motif of the seed of unborn universe (Brahma). Print refers to the subject of Plutonian energy, unborn matter, and cybernetics, and nanotechnology .
7 Two prints of this series form a dual pair of opposites that complement each other. The first print represents yin energy. This unconscious, depth, marsh, slime, darkness, humidity. The second print opposite to it and is a fire start, a major fire cross. A symbol of purification, strength, courage, something invincible and absolute, there is an analogy with the swords of archangels. In general, this series represents the unconscious (feminine) and conscious (male) .
8 In this series crosses a vast field of topics. Neuro, technogenic and cyber themes combined with decorative Persian and Turkish influences. Secular and monarchical regalia coexist with religious symbols. Catholic motifs mixed with motifs inherent in Islam. There are motifs characteristic of military clothing during the reign of Napoleon, and the color use Laya - yoga and elements from the distinctive marks of the Catholic monastic orders .
9 This print is reminiscent to a series # 14. The combination of Persian and floral intersects with cross motifs and official theme. From simple symbolic forms used not only crosses, but also squares and diamonds. This series is made of cultural, military and regalia style trend .
10 The motive of these prints refers to ancient Vedic tales . Legends , which is partly true and reflect the characteristics of the historical period. We see the theme of the bestiary - scales and claws of a mythical creature , which is definitely a reptile ( snake or dragon ) . Dragons and snakes are traditionally considered symbols of wealth , wisdom and success. The system of these prints is Jupiter - deeply sacred and archaic central character. Next we see the elements of a breakthrough, the newspaper structure , the gap in space shows what is hidden behind this space. In the last series printers are sophisticated forms combined five stars. Cold yang energy - blue and smoother big yin form. Symmetrical pattern through which we find ourselves in an ideal - pure and sacred . Red, blue and white colors as opposites .
