Echo Painting

I work in ancient technic of painting levkas, gesso. The technic, what was pushed out by more comfortable canvas. And only icon was faithful to this technology. Sure I treat it in modern way, using the materials of our time and try to save wholeness and depth. Gesso (Levkas) always belongs to the part of sacral art. Shamanistic magic appears in the beginning of the work , even in the moment of gluing of pavoloka (the peace of cloth ) to the wooden desk. Folds, wrinkles, holes... All these spontaneous things could lead you to everywhere. It could become fundament of future images and action. You can listen to this voice or ignore it. It is possible to hooligan, if you'll pull out couple threads,unexpected fractional fine textured rhythm will arise on its own. So even on this primary stage painting starts live by its own life. And you just shouldn't interfere it. Then another magic process begins. The cooking of gesso (levkas) . Dissolving gelatin, mixing with chalk, adding linseed oil. Feeling , intuition prompts you how you could change the proportions exactly for this work, the base should be stiffer or softer. Blurs, blots, strocks, scratches and scars are the wealth of levkas. The only trigger for creating of art is emotion. True, human emotion , encoded sometimes in simple and inlogical images, hides in my work. I try to build my stories not linearly. With flying above the subjects. And everyone could read the message between the lines, based on his own association. Echo Reverberation of the moment. The beginning of series "Deja Vu". Transformation of the figure, of bodies into a simmetry symbol, hieroglyph. Message, what was sent or vice versa accepted. Mantra, playing in a circle, palindrome, Leonardo's handwriting. Futile and senseless attempt to catch, to fix and to reflect the moment, the pice of time, of life, of space. The French philosopher and intuitionist Bergson defined déjà vu like "memories about the present". And for the first time the term was used by the parapsychologist Emil Barack in the book "the Future of psychic Sciences". But this doesn't prevent Thomas Browne in 1643 to write that "Platonov year - Platos years - is a centuries old period after which all things will return to their first principle, and Plato in The Athenian school will again state this doctrine." And what about the supporters of ideas of similar cycles, but not of identical cycles, so they are innumerable. There is an opinion that possible reason of the phenomenon "deja vu" (FR. already seen) may be is changing the way encoding of time with brain. So, the deja vu condition is percepted as falling into the absolutely identity of already experiencing, and sometimes as touching to something difficult comprehensible, but to something, that definitely belongs to you. ,. What is this hole or Royal gate in time and space, that could choos us, without asking appropriate time. Or mirror, facing to universe, which reflects the time, but with some minor errors, deviations. Or all this is the somersault into the well of Marcus Aurelius, "Whoever sees the present,sees everything that has been and what will be in the infinity of times".
