"Midgard" Denis Odinga

"In the loop" Mitgard "Petersburg artist Denis Odinga in eternity stood stunningly beautiful world of the Norwegian fjords and mountains. Coloristic flair of Dennis and his contemplative and meditative mood allowed in exquisite pastels to achieve the monumental sound unpopulated landscapes where feel the living presence of the gods and heroes of the Scandinavian myths and sagas.

Travel to the "several hundred kilometers, the country falls in the midst of a golden autumn, the mountain gorges, beaches numerous mountain lakes, rivers, fjords and sea" began to Odinga revelation: he "saw the most beautiful scenery in your life" and I heard a new, mythological, the sound of his name. "One day I took a trip on a boat on the fjords - says the artist.
The whole trip took place in the fog. In some places it was more dense and turned into a cloud, sometimes a little collapsing. At close range all the colors were bright and on its distance faded, and finally mixed in a gray haze, which can not be distinguished from the sky water, stones, the trees, the morning of the day. Remember, making their way through the fog and the clouds the sun. The perfect place for a fantasy in which all comes from nothing, and then again into nothingness. " Mitgard - "middle ground" Scandinavian sagas - the world of men from the "senior Eda", takes the art of Dennis new lyrical, terrible and sublime sound.
Oding uses art as a tool for obtaining magical knowledge - a symbolic instance of self-observation, based on intuition and imagination. Here, on the one hand, play the role of cognitive drawing lessons received in childhood. On the other hand, there is the art of Odinga should initially mysterial his first artistic creation of the "Sunbeams" (which, also included Oleg Nazarov and Alexander Stein), with its magical worldview, grew into the 1990s, in the work with electronic music.
Dream of paradise come true in northern European artists yearning for Greece and Italy, and in the twentieth century, finds a new direction - "North" was first sounded in the music of Edvard Grieg. Odinga works embedded in the Scandinavian myth of Russian culture, beginning "calling the Vikings", and in many ways is refracted in the "revolt of 14 and" graduates of the Academy of Fine Arts - the future "Wanderers", refused in 1863 to create works based on the story "feast of Odin in Valhalla "the art of Nicholas Roerich, a poetry of Alexander Blok and the cult of the" country of Thule ", now has become topical again for Russian intellectuals. The district Laerdalya, where the world's greatest Sognefjord artistic pilgrimage began: in recent years there for inspiration went well known Petersburg painters - Olga Tobreluts, Andrei Medvedev, Oleg Kotelnikov, Sergey Klimov, Marat Murakaev etc. Cultural interaction Scandinavia and Russia and their natural mutual interest, especially noticeable in the northern capital - St. Petersburg, in fact geographically and naturally falls in the Scandinavian Arial, manifested in the tradition of "normanizma" St.-Petersburg State University, has a base with a more ancient Scythian times (see Tamara T. Rice. Scythians. Builders steppe pyramids. 2003) This year, which marks 1250 years with "calling the Vikings" (862 Rurik "villages" in the Old Ladoga) and the base of the Russian state, the exhibition at the same time sophisticated and epic "normanistskogo" cycle Denis Odinga is the essential for us - the symbolic and cultural significant.
