VULCANUS
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 This series aired occult motifs. At the heart of prints there is multiplication and mirroring . Also the creation of print is based on the geometricity principle , the game of a hidden asymmetry , fractal, and multiplying facility . In the center is a mask that sends to multiple faiths and religions (for eg, species of ancient African shamanism). In the frame is the triangle , a key symbol of magic , and the light forms a cross and refers to Christian themes. In this image, the occult , magic , and even to some extent anti-Christian intertwines with the religious - mystical beginning. The triangle in the center represents the transition from the Middle Ages to the XIX century , going through all the photo in the stylistic and semantic incarnation. Large images can be used as a basic print , smaller - for details, such as cuffs .
2 Motifs used in this series, may seem anti-Christian , or challenging the religion a crucifix , skull , the effect of duality. But in fact , if you delve , the skull is used here in its multicultural meaning as the symbol of protection. At the heart of prints is asymmetry, which is observed even in small details , such as the location of the upper pocket on clothing of the model. The color change from purple- blue to pink - red symbolizes yin and yang. Last in a series of print combines a combination of large and small prints and illustrates the application of this pattern as on large surfaces , and in the details . The uniqueness of print is the combination of figure and ground , ÂŤroughness ÂŤ of forms and color combination .
3 Face of the model depicted in a print expresses confidence, strength and the ability to change their environment , which, combined with the properties of a diamond increases the effect of the transformation of the space . Used not only pure form of diamond , but also its derivatives rhombic shape. Image refers to the occult, neomagic and Masonic motifs . A number of prints were produced by a combination of geometric grid cells or the foreground and a background , creating a distorted and altered space . The last series of prints - a fusion of religious and occult symbols with themes of chess and ornamental decor .
4 The mixing of man-made and natural motifs in this series . On the one hand , the structure of prints refers to the motives of insects and complex collective unit of this part of the animal world. On the other hand - it is a psychological and anthropological motive - neyrostruktura and the analogy with the Rorschach blots . Other important allusions in print - it is man-made , cybernetics , the similarity with the sound wave . With the decrease in print becomes even more complete and allows the combination of variability . The motive of keyholes , summarized together .
5 Through this series comes the theme of the diamonds and arrows. The first print of series differs mysticism frame. The figure demonstrates the confidence, posturing, show off, and at the same duplicity, yin and yang, red and blue = male and female. In the series, there are more rough geometric prints, where the theme of the arrow is combined with woody flavor and a color elements allude to the structure of stones and rocks. Theme of previous series are transformed into ornaments and acquires new meanings. The combination of colors refers to the decorative - applied art of the Islamic world, and the forms themselves - to Latin America. Cross of the masks themselves and diamonds, similar to mask the faces resemble South American deities and give a reference to the beliefs of the ancient Maya.
6 This series combines simple and clean for the understanding elements of the cross , and a square of different diameter and location. The reception kaleidoscopic vision that aligns with fractal elements and complex coloring is included in the composition. The basis of prints - a mix of simple and geometrically correct forms with motives which are more complex for the perception. In addition to the occult and religious motives in the composition is an allusion to the theme of multi-dimensional space , cybernetics and high technology. Last is a series of print processing classical pattern cells and can be used for small parts .
