Author about the exhibition

The works presented at the exhibition can be conditionally attributed to philosophical expressionism, in which I deliberately turn to well-known subjects and symbols, placing them in an incompatible, alien environment. The images at work are ironic, or serious and poetic. Paradoxes are life itself, into which we are often afraid to look - through personal reflections to philosophical generalizations. In expressive philosophical works, color is almost always the main element of artistic symbolism (although there are monochrome solutions). It is not only the narrative that is important, but also the color through which this narrative is conveyed: "Half-life", "Sisyphus", "Head of an alien god", "Centaur". Color warns: you are in the space of absurdity.

Vyacheslav Olegovich Glinsky was born in 1968 in Usolye-Sibirskoye, Irkutsk region. In 1983-87 he studied at the Irkutsk Art School under LB Gimov at the Department of Painting and Pedagogy.
