"Family Album of Tatyana Nazarenko .."
-------------------------------------------------- -
Pictorial stories about love, suffering and hopes ....
Much attention was attracted by the work of Tatyana Nazarenko, which are incorporated into the project "Family Album." This is understandable: in the first place, really fresh idea, and secondly, it is of genius is simple - to transfer to canvas the old photos from family archives. Pre-revolutionary, with recognizable details of everyday life - especially the design banquette, which "negligently" stacked neatly trimmed, well-groomed child, all the aunts with hairstyles, the same velvet ribbon around their necks and brooches for blouses, imperturbable man and a fragile teenage ... And then there are photos of recent times, with the cracks and torn corners, where among the inspirational people necessarily is one hatched, and only some of this "enemy" - turn-down collar and a velvet jacket with a zipper.
But with all that 'transfer' and the composition and depth to the canvas almost one to one, no one would call it a mechanical, as executed in a slightly primitiviziruyuschey, costive-minimalist style Nazarenko, where the painting deliberately graphically, and because sometimes a little grotesque. Sometimes the artist combines in one canvas a few pictures: Central leads the title role, as it were aloof, but no less shrill, the other helps to correlate with a dramatic story of a family in retrospect times. Live, full-blooded family is torn apart, someone rushes in America, someone - in Palestine, Israel ... In canvases put scraps of real letters like: "Dear Dounia! Leaving Rossiyu send you a heart privet and nailuchshie pozhelaniya ..." or "Taken out of the steamer Convicted triple to 10 years incommunicado Going nowhere He arranged life without expectation of me all kiss Nick."
This is not some kind of special story especially families - that's the drama that is recognizable history of most families. That awareness leads to empathize, to feel part of an infinite chain - as a life-giving DNA helix is hard light of consciousness through the storms of change. And not just because, I believe that work on the project, from the first stroke to the last, lasted nine months is very symbolic.
We must pay tribute Nazarenko: forever fascinated the abyss of space between the communal rooms and chronicles, she is able to itself, it would seem, mossy, shabby theme sound is not just today, but nostalgic, schemyasche. So it was when she wrote her paintings and in the 70's and 80's - The Execution of the People, "" The guerrillas came, "" Rise of the Chernigov Regiment, "" Pugachev, and others. And last spring showed at the fair HUDGRAF strong to inflame sentiments and minimalist graphic series of Gospel stories, made fresh tracks on a trip to Israel. "Family Album", if you look wider, too, the Gospel stories - about how to love and suffer, as betrayed and suffer as a hope for the best and how to die, continuing to hope for.
I asked Bertha, Tatjana husband, worried whether his native Netherlands something similar to our family history. He thought, and with a distinctive accent said: "We have the same years, 500-600 in the country of democracy. But the dramatic stories in the past - during the German occupation, when half a million Jews, Communists and homosexuals were sitting in the camps. And we have only some ten million .. ".
We often hear: special history of Russia, a special Russian way, a special Russian mentality. And that's not enough to become the most cohesive, very friendly with a large family? All the more so that, as scientists assert, any of us, every tenth person on the planet is almost a relative, regardless of ethnicity, religion, known orientation and political views.
