In the Aidan Gallery opened an exhibition of works Stas Shuripy

For our days has become a natural experience of fabricated realities. In terms of fine art key feature of any reality is the space. The most succinct form of observation and representation of space is considered to be landscape. In Stitched digital media reality is a genre of landscape border: its former ideological and social significance has been relegated to the past, with the effects of landscape are widely used in contemporary visual culture. Landscape becomes a kind of membrane, the boundary where there is an exchange between the inner and outer world, between nature and culture, between personal and public, between the observer and the object of observation. Landscape - it is also a meeting place of two metaphors. If now considered a "window" in an illusory world, the landscape becomes the subject for contemplation, but if the space is understood as a certain sequence of characters, ie text, the landscape - a message that must be deciphered.

"Cityscapes" - is primarily a design, which is determined not by the essence of the depicted (open spaces, sky, etc.), but a special bond pattern elements: the top and bottom, far and near, atmospheric and tectonics. The space shows through the surface, as the scheme of the absorption distances, this schematic space, organize your own visual grammar and syntax. This grammar is defined by the image communication lines, fields of color relations, syntax include court site (unique), medium (world series of objectivity) and action (the event one or the connection between "there" and "here"). An important technique is the rhetoric of landscape and repetition: it may be rhythmic, and then it becomes a special case of perspective, or simply a repetition of the same, the manifestation of emptiness.

Urban environment has always been design, it contains knowledge about its own structure of numbers, lines and areas. Geometry in the urban landscape is not just a law of nature is public relations, identified and fixed in the architecture. Cityscape - a late variety of the genre, which developed largely in defiance of previous traditions. Here, as in the matrix, contains a variety of approaches to the understanding of space: schematic iconographic canon, the sublime "landscapes of the soul" and further, to the modern design of software interfaces. That is the logic of the urban landscape at one time led to an abstract art, whose principles, finding expression in the design, change the current reality. Cityscape - the sum of oscillations between single and multiple, between presence and absence, between the appearance and meaning. I think it is directed from the fabricated reality of its schematic on the plane of the canvas, the movement is able to detect implicit logic of metamorphosis, which are the nerve of modern times, this arena of evolution and collapse of the system.
