Alexei SMOLOVIK snow and cosmos solo exhibition painting, performance
Exhibition December 26, 2021 − January 30, 2022
This series of paintings in 1993 was the most fully
presented in Paris, together with B.A. Smirnov-Rusetsky (an associate of
В. Kandinsky and N. Roerich) at the Petersburg-Paris exhibition.
Exhibition SNOW AND COSMOS. LEVITATION and GARDEN OF STONES.
The original title of the exhibition was "Snow and Space," but the performance
"The Garden of Stones" miraculously revealed the essence and meaning of ancient creativity, because the essence of the Garden of Stones performance idea is not a hymn to the matter enclosed in the stone, but to the symphony of the primordial unity,
in a single coil of the rhythm of a unique melody. The beholder levitates in his consciousness only on the condition of one-step perception of all objects enveloped by space (Mikhail Matyushin's term): only then the consciousness of the creator and the beholder is freed from the chimeras of memory, and at the same time from the "zany" additive elements (Kasimir Malevich's term). Then, in the spatial and temporal unity that has emerged, the world reopens in the original harmony of the primordial.
At first pushing off with the consciousness from the garden of stones, then from the treetops, then from the birds and clouds, the ancient master distinguished in his consciousness the melodies of the rustling of stars and squeaking of planets in their unified cosmic rhythm. Conscious perception of the world around us begins with attentive listening... and the miracle of levitation can occur, and, as the sages of antiquity and ancient China claimed, this insight most often occurs by listening to the sound of the wind in
pine trees, coming from the watercolor of a sensitive artist.
Then - and creativity, and wonderment... and snow, and space...
After the exhibition, the viewer can easily disregard the force of gravity and discover a more powerful potential, the power of faith
and freedom of creativity.
