In Gallery of Art Art on Winzavod (case 5) opened the first personal exhibition in Moscow, the Swiss painter Andy Denzlera "distorted fragments».

The exhibition presents the work, developing the thematic lines of the preceding series artist in particular the series "Urban shapes", "history paintings," Portraits "and" Landscapes ».

Painting Andy Denzlera based on the image and sends to it. However, this is not just another version of photorealism, but rather a long and consistently carried out investigation of the effect produced by pictorial means. This is a time challenge, which consists in the acceleration and deceleration of the very substance of art, its oil and acrylic surfaces.

process of pictorial production Andy Denzlera - is a continuous construction of the picture, with sharp and impulsive "unloading" , collapse of, or release, - so to speak, the acceleration in a vacuum. Only through such a brief moment in the finale, a kind of strong manipulation, painting surface erupts from under the layers of reality, like a break in time. This means that discursively Denzler works in the space between bodriyyarovskimi ideas of "simulacrum", "implosion", on the one hand, and Lacanian "visibility" - on the other.

Denzler deliberately and systematically overcome procedure approved by the old masters. The rules must be overcome again and again to keep painting to new horizons. A look reveals that Denzler like tearing a smooth painting surface that makes the contemplation of the paintings in an almost painful experience for the viewer's consciousness. This pictorial space and spatial drawing creates a continuous dialogue with zhivopisuemoy reality which, however, remains a reality of the picturesque production.

At the same time, we are dealing with a game approach to the complex issues relating to borders of abstract and figurative painting, the reality depicted scenic resources and reality as such.
