The General (Packaging project No.4) We are used to not noticing the thing around us that accompanies us almost everywhere we go. Packaging. Once a simple parchment or canvas bag has now become a high-tech stand-alone product. An immutable attribute of any item for sale. At the same time, almost all packages are made very, very simple: printing with four basic colors, yellow, blue, purple and black. Just four colors make up the whole bright, noisy and screaming world that surrounds us from all sides. And the images of this world that guide our actions, push us to buy and change our attitude to things, often distracting from the original goal, all of them are also made up of four colors, like DNA molecules from four amino acids. My project is called "Packaging". Using abstract and simplified form, I suggest taking a look at it from a new angle, expanding the complex images into the basic four colors. Understand how a few pigments and paper subtly control our lives, dreams, and desires. The packaging in the project is presented in its original form, usually hidden from the eyes of buyers: an abstract typographic sheet, with all technical and cut marks, and control elements. The whole world is reflected in the packaging through the mixing of four colors, but due to the limitations of this method, everything is extremely simplified and flattened, at the same time an exact copy and a pale reflection of reality. And recently, we often hear about the" packaging " of a person, the image, the outer shell that is proposed to create for everyone to see, hiding the real self under layers of husk. Packaging is everywhere and at the same time invisible, an assistant and a deceiver, a useful device and harmful garbage that has nowhere to go. I don't judge packaging in the project, just provide a subject to think through. Painted with a plastic card and a palette knife. Acrylic on acid-free 100% cotton paper. Full size is an A2 format (594 x 420 mm) paper sheet.

Russia
Galina Khabarova (b. 1986) is a contemporary abstract artist who lives and works in Stavropol, Russia. Her paintings are abstract in nature and are created anew each time in the process of intuitively following the imagination, in most cases without any preliminary sketches. They are multi-layered surfaces with a rich texture that exposes the underlying layers of paint, with rhythm, direction and a complex color pattern. Galina describes her work as a mental return to a moment of the past, real or imaginary, when she experienced certain emotions. When the artist relives it within herself, she transfers these emotions to the surface of the canvas. The process is akin to meditation, when emotional images splash out on the painting, as if without conscious participation. A paint stroke is a reflection of a certain feeling. As emotions quickly replace each other, so do paint strokes overlap each other in the process of Galina's work. Starting with some colors and shades, she can finish the work with completely different ones, covering and overlapping each layer many times. But, like the emotions experienced, each stroke leaves its mark on the surface of artwork, forming a unique texture every time. Born in Dushanbe (Tajikistan, then a part of the USSR) Galina was surrounded by art at an early age: her father took interest in metal stamping, wood carving, sculpture and photography, constantly inviting home his friends — local artisans and artists — to work together and discuss art. In the early 90’s, Galina moved with her parents to Russia, where her family settled in Stavropol. She was lucky to have a school and teachers who teached pupils many new art techniques and methods. After graduating from the Institute in 2004 with a degree in Advertising, Galina became a professional photographer, graphic designer and commercial illustrator. Galina’s interest in the expressive calligraphy with a cola pen helped her to develop confident firm strokes and the method of working with paint by rubbing it, determining the artist's future painting style. In 2017 Galina started painting. Her favorite technique is “rubbing” paint into a dense multi-layer film, that creates a complex colorful pattern giving the finished painting a multi-dimensional depth and saturation, making the paint “glow” and the viewer’s eye unconsciously feel movement. A favorite working tool is an ordinary plastic card.
