The R-point exhibition will affect almost all aspects of the work of the artist Grace Darko, at this point converge graphics, sculpture, painting and digital art. The exposition will be divided into parts, each of which is both a part of the whole and a separate whole.
Part 1. Good night.
graphics, watercolor, sculpture
One evening, in a dull and dank fall, the music took me by surprise. From the tape recorder sounded “Zinaida, come to your senses!” - a group from the distant city of Mirgorod, in western Ukraine, near the Carpathians, lurking the shelter of Count Dracula. A grim giallo-boogie was agitated and disturbed.
That night I went hunting. Further, further from the city, into the mysterious forests - I caught vampires, studied them, fell into this world, became a part of it. They turned out to be different from what I saw in the cinema, they did not resemble well-known views, but they showed me the opposite side, filled with symbols, signs and silence. Silence has become new music. She filled me all, saturated herself, akin to her offspring and let me go.
Here are the most valuable pieces (sculpture), and sketches from the life of night creatures.
Part 2. Day.
painting
Sometimes, tired of the night, I returned to the day. Noticed all his beauty.
The day was spent traveling and talking about life. I wrote the day in thick colors on the covers of old books, chronological of feelings and even anticipations of the future.
In the paintings - what has become important to me and what I practically cultivated: the feeling of an empty beach somewhere on the Black Sea coast near Odessa, a mountain, hazy river in Abkhazia, windows in the heart of Istanbul and there is a shooting gallery outdoors. Everything is catching a glimpse. To all this I come back again and again.
Part 3. It is getting dark.
digital art
When I do not study other worlds, I study people, and so photos are born first, and pictures grow out of them. My attempt to combine those whom I see with what feelings they evoke in me.
I study the terrain that I have seen dozens of times at night — and at dusk it is different.
Three different worlds, living in turn - night, day, and at the time of the last rays of sunset - are completely different, but constituting unity.
