Today, June 1, the gallery pop/off/art represents a new pictorial project Vicki Begalskoy «Have I bored?»

At this time the object of study Begalskoy - men. Men Vīķe obviously do not get bored, as evidenced by artist vivid paintings that match the author's expressive nature.

If you close your eyes to the fact that Vika Begalskaya - recognizable, established videohudozhnik, her art by the standards of the new century will be quite klassichnym: oil on canvas, easel format, relaxed, but clearly recognizable painting plastic. Her art is rooted in one of the main traditions of avant-garde: Begalskaya - expressionist (a word that women are not accepted, although the themes are strictly women's).

In her pictures is all that is behind this concept in the twentieth century, from a formal point of view: is, loudly bright colors, open the contrasts, pastoznaya texture. And bodily concerns accompanies expressionism in all his ways: the body acts as the site for mutations and modifications of form as such. Deliberate primitivism letter, send the brutality, the vision as a challenge - everything is familiar, the case for many, while in Europe the last decades, not just settle for calculating strategy: to be not very different from other students or student Baselitz Fettinga - is almost a guarantee of success.

the meantime, precious sincerity, which are paintings Begalskoy. Its expression in the local landscape - the voice of one crying in the wilderness: I do not have a domestic audience, even a professional heeled, nor desire, nor the practice of perceiving, let alone take a clean plastic, «fresh painting» (H.-U. Obrist).

As a consequence, this rich tradition of Russia in the early twenty-first century, it almost does not have this the Confessor, spiritually encumbered individuals - for example, some epigone. And then fitting to remember: before all the demonstrators superbrendov-expressionism in Germany, before Kirchner and Nolde, this line appeared in the women's art - from Paula Moderzon-Becker. As she modestly Begalskaya thorite his way alone: poetically expressing (as appropriate for a number of sounds - «rozhaya»!) Sense of the body, women, cities, fear, passion, pain, dance, cry ...

She has one, but a major advantage over Becker: at last there was no video camera.

exhibition in the gallery pop/off/art (str Radio, 6/4) is open until 20 June, from Monday to Saturday: from 12.00 to 20.00.
