Sacred Conceptualism Vladimir Naumtsa

Museum of Modern Art in Odessa (French Boulevard, 8) to August 22 an exhibition of Vladimir Naumtsa "Otstriganie smoke." At the exhibition the author demonstrated how to "Contact Paintings", holding on sticking straight out of the picture contacts ...

For a moment it seemed that the artist is about to shibanet with high frequency, so each painting is energetic, leaf graphic, art-book ... The special charm inherent photos and videos, which are documented artistic events. Vladimir Naumets takes a middle position between the nonconformists with their attraction to bright, even elegant painting and conceptualist, whose work prevailed over the text part of the graphic (the famous guru Sergei Anufriev conceptualism, a native of Odessa, he largely helped to take place in Moscow shelters in their house at the beginning). The direction in which the artist says about himself in the early '80s, it was later called the sacral conceptualism.

Vladimir Naumets was born in Lvov, he began his career in Odessa, was a disciple of Dinah Frumin, since 1976 has been an active member of the creative association "Hutch graphics" on the Little Georgia in Moscow. It also went down in history as a participant in an informal exhibition of "Contemporary Art of Ukraine" (Munich - London - Paris - New York) in 1979. His works are in museums and private collections in Ukraine, Russia, Germany and other countries, since 1980 he lives and works in Germany.

Studying at the faculty of the famous monumental "Stroganov" in Moscow, learned the art of writing Naumets icons and frescoes from the old man, a teacher, whose name is already forgotten. But remember for a lifetime of skill basics of church art first hand, because the teacher before the revolution took possession of these secrets. Of course, "Conceptual Gospel" and the other addressed to the sacred images of work created not by the canons of the church, but cause palpitations in the audience's soul. Indeed, such works do not appear on the external order, and the Inland explains Vladimir Naumets. Especially Western artists, such as good and not hearsay it known in Germany tend to set the appearance of products, depending on whether the customer. If not - the work does not even appear. A lack of sales at the show - a reason to leave the profession. No, this road leads to the temple. And really, is not momentary success in this way do not come, says Vladimir Naumets for which work has become synonymous with service, and therefore, unnecessary hardships endured certainly not have been.

The true art of spiritual art, he says, and everything else, in his opinion, but rather can be attributed to the design search, it is also necessary ... And even such a seemingly secular work as a series of graphs, "Poetry after" emit an emanation of holiness, as the half-erased letters, when peer into them, similar to the Cyrillic alphabet of the ancient prayer books, whispering something eternal, inescapable. As for the canonical works, they, too, does the master, bought the church and monasteries on Mount Athos, from icons to the mosaic. Even the exhibition there shall - with the blessing of abbots.

The exhibition's title refers to a long art event Naumtsa. "When I was 37 years old, I was trying to stop a moment, otstrigaya the smoke from my pipe pieces, full of your favorite tobacco" Golden Fleece ", I clipped the fleece, and this action I paid the clock back to Ancient Greece, realizing and experiencing it in a different way with changing a few thousand years old consciousness - written in the author's annotations to the exhibition. - Otstriganie smoke - it is an experience of life associated with the experience of previous lives, as all the whole and united and completely. All the incredible, ineffable harmony of life. "

That's so symbolic, "otstriganiem smoke" in the broadest sense, who is as busy real masters of art. Surprisingly, the work is so bright, well-known artist of Odessa, as Vladimir Naumets in Odessa, the most poorly understood. Of course, this exhibition of the Museum of Modern Art in Odessa this injustice to some extent correct, but to rejoice too early: to enter the temple of Vladimir Naumtsa it can, but get used to it, find common ground with every angelic creature that inhabits these paintings, we yet to be. And the crowded opening day confirmed that the internal order that the audience is in Odessa.
