Today in Marat Gelman Gallery exhibition opens Dmitry Gutova "Artist and death"

Today, 27 April, at 19.00 in Marat Gelman Gallery will open the exhibition Dmitry Gutova « Artist and death ».

By definition, a pillar of educational poetics Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, art involves primarily and above all - the relation of bodies, objects in space. Step in time (the "signs of expression, following one another) can produce poetry. "... Time sequence - a region of the poet, the space - the region of the painter. How fortunate that the doctrine invented in order to overcome them! All great artists, regardless of the "smart" regulations, created the reality that lives under the laws of the truth of art. The space-time continuum - unfathomable category of this reality. Fixing temporary flow involves the perception of form as being created in front of the process is not complete, always in contact with the creating nature (natura naturans - nature doeth) eye.

ripple of time manifests itself in various formulas movement image. In what genre this movement can convey the most masterly? Of course, the fact that most honestly and directly captures the process of creating forms, its formation. In Fig. Drawings by Rembrandt - the top of the genius of license, alien and dogmatism "correct" schemes of chance and decorative forms of creativity. Each of his opus is like the discovery of the only possible in a particular length of time the movement forms in space. It can only be where the logic posed by the construction steel: in mathematics, music and poetry.

Is it possible to verify in practice, as far as the "iron" logic Rembrandt forms of creativity? Following the ideas of Mikhail Lifshitz on the identity of the Logos being and its sensible content ("I think, therefore, being conceivable"), artist Dmitry Gutov literally engaged in the materialization of metaphor "iron logic". Old scrap metal (parts of beds, wire, pipes, grids), he used as a basis for an increase of more than a hundred times Rembrandt drawings. With the help of master Boris Prudnikov Gutow cooked relief compositions, trying to accurately reproduce the lists of the great Dutchman. The result is staggering. Confirm the organization of the genius of the artistic form in which, as in hieroglyphics (a favorite topic for comparisons of drawings by Rembrandt Gutov), there is nothing accidental and "design". This claim is checked just in time to the movement itself that is the subject of the existence of forms in drawings Dutchman. The viewer communicates with reliefs Gutova during movement, and during this movement the image is constantly transforming, undergoes a metamorphosis (the so-called parallax effect is largely due to the great relief depth, approx. 45-50 cm). Actually Rembrandt image coincides with it only in one visual point. However, the composition of most graphic design, translated into the metal, so perfect and reasonable, that in all angles, even when the image becomes a pure abstraction, aesthetic qualities admired. To a large extent and that, despite the brutality of the material, it brings the finest Calligraphy Maestro. It is reasonable always arranged reasonably. Duly noted.
