"New Mythology" by Olga Tobreluts at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art Automatic translate

MOSCOW. Within a month, a large-scale exhibition of “New Mythology” will be held in Moscow, compiled on the basis of the works of modern artist Olga Tobreluts. The opening of the much-anticipated exhibition took place on January 24 at the capital’s Museum of Modern Art.

Olga Tobreluts is a unique figure of contemporary Russian art. Having received a good academic education, she was one of the first to feel the need to expand the traditional framework of creativity and turned to the use of computer technology to create large-scale visual works.

Her works are a kind of manipulation with two facets of reality: past and present. By carefully studying the historical past, peering intently at the realities of the present, he creates a comprehensive vision of humanity, with all its beautiful and disgusting sides.

Studying her work, you come to the understanding that the artist, like any creative person, is the creator of myths. Ideas born in the head can be embodied on canvas, paper, in songs or poems, in hundreds of different ways. But each time they raise the audience to a higher level, make them see the hidden and overestimate the ordinary.

The artist Olga Tobreluts offers us her reality, in which primitive monsters are embodied in famous images that flicker daily from television screens. And bright dreams find refuge in the entrancing serenity of the past.

As a pioneer of media art, the creator of dozens of powerful installations, the artist animates myths, giving them new strength. Which can be gleaned by anyone who is not afraid to reveal his creation to another vision of reality!
