Anatoly Ashenbeher The SLEEPER / "SLEEPER" 0+

Gallery “Ul. Malevich ", 3rd floor

The Astrakhan artist found his own style in creating paintings “without meaning and plot”. According to Anatoly Ashenbecher, the composition, which is born from the very process of drawing, allows him to work with the sphere of the unconscious.

Anatoly is distinguished from beginners and speculators on the fertile theme of the unconscious by a clearly traceable handwriting, 2 artistic formations and a number of features of a more subjective sense: holes in the textures on his canvases in reality resemble abysses, something deeply personal and secret.

The noir style of Anatoly’s works is revealed upon closer examination. It would be wrong to ignore the artist’s interview, where we hear almost a message: "The look is directed at black and white works, your consciousness picks up associations in the depths of the unknown Unconscious, sleeping until a certain moment." This is a kind of instruction, distributing the semantic load of the canvases in equal proportions between the image plane and the viewer’s inner world.
