Artem Andriychuk. Persons. Glazed madonnas

Exhibition February 28 − March 13, 2019
Lera Litvinova Gallery presents the project“Persons. Glazed Madonnas » Artem Andriychuk. The author presented paintings depicting the heads of women of a similar type of appearance and identical facial expression. A series of canvases is a kind of irony about the conscious homogeneity of people: individuals do not deliberately reflect character, emotions and individuality.

Conscious deprivation of uniqueness is emphasized and identical in all compositions by the treatment of eyes, closed by a mosaic of broken glass. Such a technique finally unifies the images and indicates the absence of any binding to portraiture.

Atrem Andriychuk, on the one hand, represents the desacralized image of the Mother of God, and on the other, the desired object of love. The image of a faceless girl is inspired by one of the many nameless models from a fashion magazine and “replicated” with the help of pop art techniques.
