| Artist's Statement: | |
| Martynchik Walera Russian Contemporary Artist It must be difficult for a British viewer used to liberalism, to decades of Pop Art, of artistic eclecticism, to comprehend what it was like to grow up in a totalitarian regime, grey, dangerous and above all simplistic, with the stagnation produced by banal simplification. I grew up in such a regime. My inspiration, my artistic way out of the stultifying attitudes I and others like me encountered was The Glass Bead Game(1943) of Herman Hesse, who too had experience of totalitarianism. His game, you may remember, involved using as many approaches as possible from the past, the cornucopia of cultures. As my own protest against, and escape route from, the apathy bred by malign authority that repressed me, and others like me, I developed a style that uses the gamut of artistic styles from the past - glazing, geometry, perspective, portraiture – together with dizzying echoes of chaos and entropy. It dips into the cultural riches of the visual arts, especially painting. If you want an analogy from the British Art Scene, the one is to be found in the world of Bernard Cohen. His sense of life has affinities with my own, but inevitably my work has political aura that can afford to be absent from his work. -Walera Martynchik. | |
