Description of the artwork «Exorcising pain.»
"The triad, white, black and red, represents the process of experience and pain. It is probably one of the most ancient triads. Indeed, people made long journeys in search of karski; the use of the triad "white, black and red" was dictated by their easy accessibility. The alchemical process was thought of as an imitation or model of the cosmic process. The alchemical color scheme was characterized by a two-step hierarchy: 1. The colors of the first class: black, white, red. 2. Second class colors: gray, green, blue, yellow, orange" (Inna Smirnova. Magic as It Is.). The painting "Exorcising Pain" was painted in a gray, green, blue, yellow, orange alchemical palette. Used translucent oil paints, teak varnish, solvent, felt rags, parolon, squirrel brushes. Format of work: 40x54.
