August 14 - September 16, 2013


From 14 August to 16 September at the State Russian Museum, will host a personal exhibition in Moscow by Boris Kocheyshvili. The author has formed its bright, easily recognizable style still far 1960: graphically and at the same time refined plastic, full of a kind of grotesque and subtle poetry - his work recognized at a glance and is well remembered.
The exhibition at the Russian Museum will host works of the last ten years: painting and plaster reliefs. Reliefs, or dimensional paintings created by the artist in the author's original technology. Perhaps for the first time in the history of the relief, a kind of art, limited technical features of the casting in the form Kocheyshvili able to extend scenic improvisation into a solid material and lock in a cast free movement palette knife. Relief staging literally come to life - the amount of each characteristic shadow casts a clear edge, and the figures come in a dialogue, as if the actors on the stage.

«From the 2000s Kocheyshvili are increasingly drawn to painting ... Motives architecture (baroque volutes and curls, the ruins of the colonnade and entablature fragments) paradoxically form the landscape, as the name (" Field "," Edge of the Solar "," clearing " ) a natural, full-scale. Actually ... Kocheyshvili stung dialectic "stage" and a natural, organic. It often becomes a special "inside" story. Thus, in "Fly away", "The Door in the Forest" scenic action played out in a specially prepared scenic, even stage design, space ». From the introduction to the catalog. Alexander Borovsky, head of the Department of Contemporary Art at the Museum.
 
Drawing, painting, relief and poetry in the work of Boris Kocheyshvili flow into each other and out of the boundaries of genre. Conformity to the material Kocheyshvili unfamiliar, it does not follow the laws of the genre and mixes techniques, achieving honed figurative language. The case where the purchasing committee GTG has not been able to decide what to store, painting or graphics include cardboard Boris Kocheyshvili is characteristic of the unique and easily recognizable manner of the artist.
Kocheyshvili - not only a major contemporary artist, but also a poet, the author of six books, his poems were included in the two-volume anthology of Russian poetry 1950-2000. The very title of the exhibition - "Simply Summer" - comes from the collection of poems by Boris Kocheyshvili, released once more in "samizdat". The exhibition is in the timing book has been republished is the official publisher and is provided with author's illustrations.

In the exhibition space organically included poetic lyrics of the artist, the poet, and the broadcast of the documentary film about the author.

«By itself the question arises as to what kind of" niche "is placed Boris Kocheyshvili. How to write about it? Who is he? Modernist? The sixties? Nonconformist? Unfortunately, our understanding of the trends in modern art is extremely scarce. We are short of terms and concepts. All of our current classification of elementary and too conditional ».

The exhibition "Simply Summer" first published in the timing, location. As well as preparing for the release of the already mentioned book.
Most of the opening of the directory was written by Alexander Borovsky. It's called "Once Mavis ..." (a reference to an early film by Otar Iosseliani of 1971).
Here are a couple of memorable quotes from the article.
« Kocheyshvili undermines stereotypes of high (and in general reference - today and conceptualism, have done so much to dispel all kinds of stereotypes rooted buskins) its private method. Namely - the very nature of life and art of living. It gives the viewer a hint sly, pick up the key to his work: "My dear /no time /summer /Weeding /Chickens yes duck /Scott pesters /And then I had you /I" Hunters in the Snow "/I" Black Square "/And "Danae». »

« materialization and dematerialization (poetics of presence in the landscape - in the same context) as a manifestation of the movement of life, and all that - under the sign of behavioral and creative artistry ... Of course, consciously or not, but Kocheyshvili somehow came into contact with the masters of metaphorical line (D.Krasnopevtsev, M.Shvartsman, etc.). Moreover, if his work and is contextualization, in line with the movement. But (back to the title of the article), our bird - not one of those who get caught giving the claw, "lost", that is, allows himself to get caught up in the already held discourse. Leaving a mark of claws, this thrush continues solo flight. Actually, "otvyazannostyu" flight he and interesting . »
