THE FIELD. THE RHYTHM | YN-1-1
Solo Exhibition | LUCH Gallery
1 July – 14 August 2023
The LUCH Gallery presents the first solo exhibition of the art group YUN-1-1 "Field. Rhythm". The artists turn to nature for inspiration and, based on the research of their "naturalistic" interest, create a series of metal objects in which the movements of grass and leaves can be discerned.
Turning away from digital reality, the artists find inspiration in living nature. The series of metal objects presented at the exhibition are inspired by the patterns and rhythms of natural phenomena: the change of seasons, flowering, the structure of plants, the uniqueness of ornaments created by the shadows of grass, branches and leaves of trees. The visual effect that artists strive to reproduce involves immersing the viewer into a state of calm contemplation.
Author's comment:
"The movement of leaves in the wind creates a fascinating optical game of light . Capturing this impression, we present it in flat compositions of metal mesh elements superimposed on each other. We turn to technical material and work with its qualities. For brass mesh we use contact spot welding, which allows a minimal participation in the interaction of mesh webs. This technique resembles the craftsmanship of the skill of embroidery and appliques. Working with aluminum we use the method of metal deformation and corrugation similar to the way leaves and shoots bend in nature. Experience of interacting with the material helps us to see similar shaping processes in nature and to apply it in our art."

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
YN-1-1 is a creative duo of graduates of the Stieglitz Academy of Art and Industry in Saint Petersburg. Both artists studied at the departments of applied arts, where they gained skills in working with traditional materials. They were united by a sincere interest to study nature and its influence on fine art. "Young Naturalists" transfer their reflections and discoveries related to nature to the area of art. In their work they combine traditional craft techniques with modern methods of work, thus underlining and actualizing their significance in modern culture. The artists work mainly with sculpture and object design.
