About The Artwork
2 parts: left part 100*60 сm right 100*100 cm series Paramecium: In this project I show the resemblance of the human genus to Paramecium. Paramecium is a genus of infusoria including several hundred species. The nature of their movements, mode of reproduction and defense are clearly subordinate and determined by their biological characteristics. If you study paramecia under a microscope, they look a lot like people in a metropolis: constantly moving, creating frantic motion, quickly and relentlessly colliding with each other. And I wonder: how much like them are we? To what extent does our life rhythm repeat theirs? Do we live consciously? Being in constant motion and climbing social ladders, are we aware of whose decision it is our own or society's? How do we know whether we are making our own decisions or following public opinion? An emotional process called fear keeps us from being ourselves. It holds us back. We are afraid of being misunderstood or rejected, afraid of fending off the crowd and being judged by it. Fear can only be confronted by the individual, not by a creature formed by fashionable paradigms and the vector set by the state. But how does one go beyond clearly delineated boundaries when they are covered so artfully that a sense of freedom is created? I am trying to find an answer to this question.

My name is Katerina Konyukhova. Working in the technique of "painting" I create objects of contemporary art. I like to combine two styles, which in their concept are the opposite: abstract expressionism and minimalism. When the expression [the subconscious ...] is asking for the canvas and you can not hold it, the only thing I can do with this energy is to hold it in the canvas in the right way. First, I negotiate and agree with myself on what trajectory I will go. On the canvas I draw geometric shapes and lines, from which I should not depart. Whenever there is a palette knife in hands, and a lot of tubes are at hand, an uncontrolled collaboration takes place. The image on the canvas works together with the observer. On the one hand, the author, colors and energy, on the other hand the viewer, who views the work and interprets it in his mind. There is a synthesis. With each person, "Work" gets its own meaning.
