Archetypal perception of the world by Alexei Malykh Automatic translate
June 27 in Kiev, the opening of an exhibition of contemporary Ukrainian artist Alexei Malykh. The public can familiarize themselves with the Archemif exposition in the Triptych ART gallery.
All great works of art contain archetypal representations that are close to each representative of humanity. K.G. Jung, who first formed the theory of archetypes, saw in his work a way of revealing the inner depths of the soul, where the unconscious appeals to consciousness with the help of mythological images that would be equally understood by both cavemen and residents of modern megalopolises.
Often, such images are hidden in the paintings with the help of various artistic techniques and, without being striking, have a deep, but imperceptible effect on the beholder.
Alexey Malykh decided to create a series of works that reflect not only the basic archetypes, but also a complex mythological view of the world. Therefore, the plots of his paintings, the objects depicted on them, people, symbols are the connecting link of all the representatives of mankind. "Archemif" is the result of the artist’s active inspiration, seeking to understand what unites the cultures of different nations. He seems to be thinking about the question: “Would the symbolism of Ukrainian embroidery by the ancient Egyptians be understandable?” There is hardly a universal answer to this question. However, each visitor to the exhibition will be able to answer it himself, relying on his own emotional experiences and associations that arise when studying the works of Alexei Malykh.
