Aidan Gallery in an exhibition of works Rostand Tavasieva “Milki Way”

Exhibition Project Rostand Tavasieva «Milki Way» shows us the hidden side of the identity of the artist until now, causing public outcry insolent interpretations of the traditions of pop art and the wide use of as a soft toy characters. «Milki Way» - it is eleven works, brilliantly combining the features of easel paintings and assemblages, depicting the star-spangled night sky. Despite the fact that the Rostan has already communicated to the motives of the project «Sintepon», it is still rare and, of course, risky for the modern masters. How the risk should be assessed, and the fact that a wide audience favorite toys are now very limited. However, significantly enhanced the picturesque part of which can be clear parallels with the «color field painting», appear associated with sacred drama Rothko and intellectualism Reinhardt, emotional expressiveness and the use of slots is in the works of L. Fountain memory.

deliberately simplified, stylized images of stars give birth to a lot of historical allusions - Egyptian painting, Renaissance astrology, Masonic symbols. But, I think, a better understanding of the aspirations of Rostand can be found in proximity to the basics of the ancient mirovideniya. Creative intuition presents us with Cosmos, splashed with reflections of stars - the manifestations of the creative mind - Logos, opposing deformity and bustle of everyday life - chaos. The artist leaves and keys to higher order - are understandable and recognizable objects: plumb, flare, bow, corner, while ironiziruya and increasing the sound of a humanistic.

Speaking of the philosophical platform of the project, one can not help but remember also the daring, and imbued with the infinite love of mankind the idea of Russian kosmizma - «Philosophy of general affairs» NF Fedorov, part utopian, part became our present theory to . Tsiolkovsky and AL Chyczewska. The major side Fyodorova teachings - the idea of regulation, which includes the conquest of nature, the improvement of the human body (until the final victory over death), and - as the current solution to the problems of depletion of earth's interior and the resettlement of mankind, attained immortality - an ambitious space expansion. In terms of Fyodorov and his followers, the conquest and conversion of the determined space is seen as a historical given, arising from the inability to achieve regulation of the Earth, the area which will soon be fully developed, and the subsoil devastated ... This impressive formation of idealistic philosophy, as well as perceived through a Kantian installation (unforgettable «the starry sky above me») attached to a special exhibition Rostand depth - and - to evaluate the author's determination - particularly polemical severity, given the philosophical preferences of the vast majority of the current Russian intellectuals.

No less significantly, and the message generation, inherent in the display. For submitted Rostanom generation of young people whose fate brings together two times, two different system of signs, symbols Brand notorious candy bars splavlena coated nice big stars Plasticine Curtain damage child transmission - and it tells a special exhibition space trustee mood. This intimacy, combined with the tenacity to identify the true goals makes contemplation of new works Rostand Tavasieva in a complex spiritual process, which aims to extract memories from the depths of intimate personal experience and, ultimately, assimilation to the guest gallery thinker that once stood under the starry sky, thinking about the immutability of the moral law.
