ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The red lines of "life" start from one world to another. They start like missiles - perpendicular to the boundary between the worlds. Apparently, they have a goal - to get into another world, and eventually they get there, that is, their trajectories end in nothing. Two worlds are earth and space, or land and sea, or light and darkness, and so on. Of course, the artist does not think: Below, I depict such and such a world, and above such and such. He creates the worlds unconsciously, based on his idea of ​​life, and these opposite worlds are then reflected in the picture. The metamorphosis here is that the artist has tilted the boundary between the worlds, and now these red-brown trajectories rush not just skywards, but obliquely. And again we see a phenomenon that is not in real nature. A missile fired from a cannon must fly along a parabola and fall to the ground. But in this case this does not happen. But there is another interesting thing, the lines of life are not thin, but they are made up of transverse lines, like towers of flat bricks lying on top of each other. Randomly it or not, but that our sloping tower does not crumble, this wall of bricks continues on both sides of the beam, creating a kind of monolith that does not allow the tower to fall. We see these bricks in the surrounding space, but only they are invisible and have a yellow or blue color, like the sky. That is, the flight trajectory crashed into the sky and cemented it. In fact, in the real world, too, there are roads that end in nothing. The simplest example - a canal dug from the sea into the land, an elongated bay or a natural fjord - not without reason the picture is called "Venice". Boats moor, before they reach the impasse, people go ashore on either side of the water and continue their journey through the land. And nobody cares that the channel itself is in a dead end. So in life: we have the opportunity to step down from the predetermined direct path and find, so to speak, a quiet shelter away from the central road leading to death. In this regard, you can philosophize for a long time, how to actually live the right way - to find shelter, or safely go to the end.

First of all, hello and let me thank you for opening the page where my paintings of recent years are presented! My name is Eugene Yakovlev. I was born and took the first steps, including in the work, in the city of Komsomolsk-on-Amur. His academic education continued in Vladivostok in the Far Eastern State Technical University in the architectural department. The world around us is changing rapidly. To replace the quiet forward movement in the past, the roaring, rushing present burst. Cities, countries, people - sweep in an endless kaleidoscope before your eyes. Images and emotions jump on each other, mix, change properties. And you already see not the path, but some points. And how you spend the lines between them, forming your space, depends entirely on you. Actually, my abstract painting is the formation of a new emotional space in me and around me. This is my communication with you. I'm on the move, I'm open to this new, brightly colored world. My world is, among other things, a brick at the base of your personal world. And I will be happy if my works give you pleasure and carry you away. Welcome!
