Masha. Domestication. 2018. Series Oil on canvas. 10 tondo portraits More about this work on Artsy: https://www.artsy.net/show/artis-moscow-artis-moscow-at-cosmoscow-2018 In the series of portraits of chimerical animals, we seem to encounter the heritage of an ethnographic expedition, and quite an ambiguous heritage - both indisputable and improbable. The series uses embroidery frames for traditional painting techniques and combines the features of two iconographies - ceremonial portrait and naive painting. The first iconography implies posing and domestication of real animals, the second one - the circulation of their images in folklore and cultural interpretations. It was Aristotle who noticed that no animal can have both fangs and horns at the same time. Clear common sense protects our minds from an impossible nature, as well as it protects nature from our mind. In the depiction of the animals by Fedora Akimova, we see impossible connections beyond the limits of natural evolution and culture. We see the images of beings in which the incompatible is mixed, depriving our cultural experience and scientific knowledge of any support.

Fedora Akimova is a mixed-media artist specializing in installations, video and objects. She was born in 1987 in Kyiv, where, after receiving her first degree in Printing and graphics, she began her creative career as an illustrator. In 2010 she moved to Russia – first to Kaliningrad, then to St. Petersburg, where she studied decoration and staging. This diploma in Theater Decoration and Stage design has impacted and developed her as a future artist, as she picked up many techniques and crafts into her art.
