Pinchuk why "beat"? Socialist realism is not its topic

Even in some strange way, you know that socialist realism Pinchuk is not interested while his main defendants not guilty. That's what traffic hazards.

In Kiev, opened a personal exhibition of the famous masters of contemporary art Basil Tsygalov "expensive and angry" - concise but vivid panorama of his work of 2000-ies. Twelve paintings leave a feeling of unreality of reality.

Name of the event chosen by chance - a native of North Ossetia, a graduate of the Kiev Academy of Arts and one of the leaders of the so-called southern Russian wave took shape in the mid-80's, Basil Tsagolov - one of the most expensive and bought by Ukrainian artists. Success, he has made himself, and always managed to be provided in the forefront of the artistic process: almost the first among his colleagues carried away video, removing the 1994 thriller "Milk Sausages"; one of the first sensed a "return to painting" - to experiment with video, photos, installations and performances, he again took up the paint and brushes.

However, the obsession with media art for his painting did not pass without a trace. Pictures Tsygalov master the reality is such a modern man sees it through the prism of mass media. It is both a parody of popular culture, and the imitation of her.

Twelve paintings from private collections, presented at this time in the "Guild" - is not even a painting, but most are action-movie, the quality of the artistic interplay of domestic and crowded with an absurd and fantastic in no way inferior to, for example, Kusturica. Here and space aliens, and the graceful ballerina, wore a belt of suicide bombers, and exciting gangster stories about the hostages, arms sales and fatal beauties. But for all its action-tsagolovskie stories in the paintings manage to be extremely nice and homely. Threesomes, for example, against the background of the dining table laid out on it with bunches of green onions and radishes, and big-eyed blue humanoids are worn sandaliki peacefully munching corn on a rural bus stop, did not interfere hardworking muzhiks and grandmothers in flowered scarves. Latest world splint, so funny, how, and eerie.

With regard to the painting style - paintings by Tsygalov bright, large, boldly-naturalistic, balancing on the brink of kitsch and great style. And, above all, provide an example of impressive skill. Take, for example, Van Gogh, willy-nilly "- painting, written proprietary vangogovskimi strokes, portraying a black boxer who, under the hooting of the crowd and camera flashes bites ear writhing in pain to the opponent. Or the same picture about the "blue men" from the series "Ukrainian X-files", a brilliant parody socialist-realist art. This graphic technique, through which many fine portraits emerges a big - a portrait of the era of mass culture, easy, and ironically playing the characters and allusions from a variety of sources, from popular television shows to the Bible. The artist himself says that he wants to draw the viewer's attention on the reality of the unreal and fights with cliches of mass culture, bringing them to their logical extreme, the absurd.
