About The Artwork

"Memory's Gloss - Gloss - Sudden death ", 2020, acrylic/canvas/monotype/airbrush, 70*70 cm. This work completes a series "Memory's Gloss" The series was an experiment to work with a personal history. I collected certain memorable events from my life, mainly from my childhood. These events made a special impression on me. Each of them marks a change in my perception of the world and myself. Frankly, I expected that the process of creating this series will produce a special effect on me, but I could not foresee the nature of its action. The paintings were part of a bridge thrown into the past. The bridge consists of two supports. Events and his image in the picture. These mirrored elements created a bond that helped me release energy. Energy closed in past events. Thus, the tension that was encapsulated in my subconscious mind got a way out, in some cases changing not only me but also my surroundings. The last picture of the series was especially difficult for me. This gloss is represented by the face of a dead old woman. An event that I experienced at the age of about 5 years. I stood in a store in with my parents. Suddenly in front of me on his back fell elderly woman. She died on the spot. I felt it. At this point, the idea of death has become for me a matter on which I began to look for an answer, as much as my development as a child allowed. I asked questions and asked questions to adults. Over time, the sharpness of the impression faded away, but a trace remained in my memory. Unique event index...

Edgar Invoker - artist, working at the intersection of abstraction and surrealism, which is true not only in relation to his style of painting, but also relates to the topic of his research - lucid dreaming and change material states of consciousness at the time of the transition between sleep and wakefulness, condition of the paint and the various influences on it. Practicing techniques that promote lucid dreaming, the author fixes his experience and understanding in the form of pictures, which are a manifestation of a certain phenomenon, looking for a way of translation into the material world. Edgar's canvases are the fruit of studying the unconscious on the border with the physical and their subsequent synthesis into artistic forms. Dark symmetries, clearly reminding of Rorschach stains, mirror one another and show us a great lucid dream. The project is based on studying of subconscious mentations and interrelation with archetypical images. My task was to tune to given subject and to design the method of images' creation documenting these processes. Rorschach's theory was taken as the base for this method. In the concept of my project it is studying of interpretation of abstract images' system for concrete periods in the practice of working with subconsciousness. Working directly with material I was studying influence of conscious and subconscious motivations on micro-motions of the body in the process of making abstract forms. Here my research refers to Pollock's concept and his "action painting". In a sense I see the similar concept in ancient rites of prophecy, where the contact between a creator and a Repin State Academic Institute of Painting Sculpture and Achitecturemediator establishes the connection « subconsciousness - body». Translating the common sense into modern language I can say that the painter's (creator's) body passes the impulse to the material exposing inner work of subconsciousness in abstract form. Rorschach noted the connection between dreams and the images seen in the blots. In my case I use my blots to reveal images and to discover the direct connection with dreams. Here my role as a painter and as a mediator is to make a transparent image...like a spiritualist...to reveal it into our world. By creating a system: the paint, body and subconscious mind, I try to go on a layer of abstract perception of psychic phenomena.
