Any art lover who enjoys thought-provoking artworks and meeting competent and fascinating artists is encouraged to attend.
Alexander Ossipov (TOTUR) creates dense and detailed oil paintings combining myth and memory, earthly and divine. The player distorts and stylizes his subjects, paring them next to to geometric forms and blocks of color. Allegorical figures and animals are fractured and reassembled in shallow compositions, the pigmented planes and facets flattened onto the picture plane.
In Ossipov’s The Abduction of Europe, a nude female figure and a bull’s head share a cosmic space. Without a horizon, the two float in an uncomfortable space, the floundering, twisted body reaching in vain for the animal. The Trinity. Guests features three figures that allude to the holy trinity. Dressed in abstracted and heavily patterned robes past Byzantine halos of open radiating from their heads, the three holy figures resign yourself to upon the look of stained glass. Finally, Ossipov’s The Two Moons depicts an allegorical horned figure nearby an nameless anthropomorphic shape, each patterned behind stripes of earthy color. In the background, two turquoise and brick red orbs slice across a black ground, creating a wisdom of dueling opposition.
