Kirill Agranovsky’s exhibition MARIN COMES TO WORK

Does Marina go to work?
Does it cross the endless edge along the way? Is there a power line there?
When does she get home from work? Is there a birch tree there?
Marina doesn’t go to work anymore? Where is she?

“Kirill Agranovsky first comes up with the story of his painting, the script. Then it runs the raw data into the processor of its own head. While the data is being processed in consciousness, or mind, he is having fun, as he makes a fascinating trip, the turns of which are impossible to predict. Often the exit is not at all what Kirill expected. But the more surprising the result, the more accurately it expresses the idea, the more interesting and joyful it is. This is how movement happens - from one work another grows, from another - a third, from a third - a whole series. And the cause of the chain reaction can be just one single new element added to the fundamental components. " © Marina Goncharova. On Nevsky. 2015
