December 25 at 18.00, at the Moscow Exhibition Hall "Gallery A3" will host an exhibition that is timed to the 70th anniversary of the People's Artist of Russia, Alexander V. Ishin.


This remarkable master, one of the masters of the domestic arts is one of the art critics wonder just called a wizard, which converts the ordinary, everyday space into a space filled with romance oberiutov. In fact, if there's search for the sources and analogues ishinskogo space, we first come to mind Harms, Vvedensky, Z, other members of the real art of the Association. And, of course, with Viktor Shklovsky's theory of estrangement: the author, to find out the true nature and essence of even the most banal utterances and back image of the original meaning, pulls it out of the familiar, petrified, zashtampovannogo context. And then the most ordinary things appear to the audience in a different, "strange" and an unexpected appearance. Actually, Alexander Ishin shows the world around us in its original, natural form, not through the prism of backlog in the minds of each of us of prejudice.
It turns out, houses, fences, attic windows, rural households with cats and roosters, and most importantly - the people who are our contemporaries - all that fills our minds - not at all what it is. We only think that the context in which we live, exhausted and therefore not so interesting. In fact, everything around is full of mysteries and riddles, and their task Ishin artist sees it, to offer all of us to participate in the experiment of Creation. As a result, we gain the chance to look at what is happening around untroubled, unblinkered and eyes wide open and see how anxious and touching everything in the first hour and minute of birth, and - at the beginning of separation between matter and mind.
To its credit, Ishin, he managed to avoid the temptation to edification, "serious" attitude to life. Language in which the artist speaks to the audience, too ostranen - master prefers pragmatic attributes of our time - the irony, defiance, ridicule, and paradoxes. No wonder the author was at the forefront of Soviet non-conformist, was in the midst of combating a conservative system for the new art. To be understood by the authorities, pioneers and disturber of the peace had to find a weapon against the party actually varnishes with their mechanical schemes, standards and templates. Trump card in a tense and painful dialogue has become a romantic with a taste of irony. And as the field of battle perfectly dominant in the era of Khrushchev's thaw brand - communism. Before Ishin and his associates was to oppose the official, the battalion romance - an informal, frank, informal. Rigidity and mossy authorities romance building a bright future, in which by and large no one believed. Hence the ironic view of the world. Tactics and strategy born of themselves: do not give a utopia for reality, but to separate the art from the ideological environment, using the variety of styles and trends.
Like all classics of the sixties, Ishin was a lifelong romance with the ironic worldview. Communism is the actual problem of power long ago shifted to the collective unconscious, but the specter of a common cause and symptoms are still apparent in the reaction of "common people" - the main character Ishinskih canvases - to current events. And Alexander Ishin can only feel the mood and aspirations of the dear and close to his heart compatriots. Work for exhibition in the gallery provided by collectors A3: Yuri Gurov, Alexander Mironov, Andrey Pospelov, Anna Moreva, Lyusine Petrosian, Irina Shirinyan.
