Helen Keller

[LCR]

Yesterday, in his post about bidding BRIC, which will be held in London on 23-April 24, I published a reproduction of a painting of Helen Keller. which I like.
Then I thought, it is unlikely that many of the site know this talented artist, and decided (if at all there were still people who are interested in art) to make about her small plot. Pictures I scanned from a catalog of the exhibition in the GRM 2003

That's what Lena Keller (she was born and worked in Moscow, with the 1990. Lives near New York City):

My view (text from the same directory)


More than two dozen LKT I paint pictures, and always excites me one question - the eternal question - what is considered art? How to determine the point ekogda art ceases to be a craft, and the picture becomes a spiritual expression and loses significance of the object. The moment when the artist manages to overcome the measurement due to the five senses of human perception, which can push the boundaries of the visible world, ulovt and fix the vibration of the worlds real, but not visible. Then the painting becomes a kind of magic sphere of art where the artist is free from time, environment, personal history.

The power of harmony and concentration of energy in the space of the painting open up the subconscious and helps to comprehend the mystical infinity. Language abstraction - as well as music - is the universal language of art.

Synthesis and analysis - an area that attracts my attention. Rejecting a simple optical illusion of narrative realizschma, sitnez based on knowledge - conscious and unconscious - and reflects the true picture of the world. Synthesis-the idea expressed by the interaction of many conventional components, with which to create associative array and leads to a reading of the message - the image is not rational, logical, and through the sensual and emotional perception.

Blossom I attach the greatest importance. Color has an active influence on the birth of the image, which in itself is a miracle and a revelation. Color, as a musical sound, creates an emotional mood and harmonizes the inner space of the soul.

The idea that the art world is bound to the universe, and not with the Earth and its private laws, one of the ideas of Russian avant-garde early twentieth century. The origins of this idea back to the philosophy of the Russian cosmism N. Fedorov: "While the earth is considered the center of the universe, we mogldi be quiet spectators, seemingly taking for real." Suprematism Kazimir Malevich, uveto-prostranstvevnnye search Kandinsky, force composition L. Popova were also linked with the philosophy cosmism. Their understanding of the spiritual world, as part of the noosphere - the mind of the universe - there is a new awareness of the development of abstract art.

Interference of different cultures creates vivid individuality in art: Joan Mitchell, Kimber Smith, Clifford Still, Gunter Gyumpert, Bernard Schultze, Robert Rauschenberg, Joss Davidson.

Abstract Art America influenced me with her cosmic scale and raznooraziem. In non-objective form of art I saw unlimited possibilities and absolute freedom. I felt near and dear to my goals and objectives of creative searches Arthur Dov and Mardsen Hartley, Morgan Russell and Jasper Johns. I am interested in the creation of plastic composition, which has its own field structure, in which there is no dependence on the conditions and forms of logic terrestrial relations. The concentration of creative energy in the space of my paintings inspires painting, transforming it into a vibrant living organism - the fusion of intelligence and sensuality.

The energy of motion and color Lien overcomes the resistance of the form. Overcoming this creates a feeling of floating in space, where the law of balance and harmony. The intensity of the color evokes the imagination carries me to the surrounding scenery. Color lives, sounds and vibrates every tone and nuance.

Undoubtedly, the aesthetic value of the paintings - in the fullness of its beautiful content. Talent is just an excuse to try their strength, the premise - the initial impetus that encourage creativity. Chereschz love to experiment, innovate and spmoobnovleniyu I have found their own way of expression ... It was important to seek a divine light of art and reflect on their need for creativity, as of destiny.

The task moegeo creativity in an attempt to unity with the divine power, with supersoznaniem. This is clearly expressed in an intuitive and completely inexplicable process of creating the painting, when all my intentions and actions are controlled by an invisible presence, when you feel as a creator and an instrument at the same time experiencing an incomparable sense of belonging to the great miracle of creation.
