Information about the artistic movement “Impossible art”
The artistic movement of fine art “Impossible art” finally formed in Europe in the 80s of the XX century as an organic part of optical art. The pictorial basis of this trend was geometry of trompe l’oeil and other spectacular visual illusions obtained as a result of drawing impossible figures. The names of the founders of IMP-ART are widely known. This is Penrose, Reutersward, Asher.
Russian artists were also interested in the expressive capabilities of IMP-ART, but in the USSR this direction of art was not supported and there were no exhibitions. Isolated attempts have been made to popularize this trend. Only in the 1990s did the opportunity to get acquainted with the work of the founders of IMP-ART.
Currently, projects of impossible figures, visual illusions and puzzles continue to interest and inspire a number of Russian designers and artists. The first exhibition "IMP-ART" was held in April 2013 in the Moscow exhibition hall "Tushino". More than one hundred works of forty-three artists were presented.
In art circles, the project aroused genuine interest and attracted new participants. The continuation took place in 2014 in Kaluga and Saratov (in the Radishchev Museum). The exhibition and the scientific-practical conference on the issues of “Impossible art” were organized at the Stroganov Academy (2014).
Visual effects and optical illusions are taken into account when creating exhibition expositions and clothes, font development and all kinds of optical compensations for the composition. By itself, the class of “impossible” figures, that is, objects that are dual in their spatial and graphic characteristics, retains its heuristic appeal.
The organizers of the exhibition hope that the new exhibition “Impossible art and optical illusions in enamel technique” will be interesting to a wide circle of artists and admirers of visual art. First of all, students and teachers of art departments of Saratov universities and the Bogolyubov school. Within the framework of this project, the problems of the development and use of impossible figures and optical illusions in enamel technique, in modern design are considered.
