I am an artist Kirill Gatavan. The logic of my work lies at the junction of revisionism and visionaryism. My materials and forms are archaic, or, one might say, classical. And in a way, I’m also an item. This is a kind of aesthetic autism. It is important for me to leave the plane of fashionable (formal) trends of contemporary Russian art. I am characterized by conceptualist infantilism and a penchant for black humor. I am a classic idiot, addicted to composition, story; shade. The persuasiveness of the aesthetic caricature of artistic experience is one of my metaphors. It is a metaphor, not a strategy or reaction. However, the aura of sentimental symbolism envelops my figurative paideia. This triggers a critical trigger. I don’t want to transmit through my picture, as it were, hot, as if complex, as if important issues, to press on the abscesses of society. I am sick of the idle talk of entertaining and acutely political issues of contemporary young Russian art. But it only makes me sick. And this means that in my retrograde idiocy I want to make my pictures important objectively.
