INTUITIVE COMPOSITION | VERONIKA KOZACHENOK
Solo Exhibition | LUCH Gallery
8 April – 14 May, 2023
The LUCH Gallery presents a personal exhibition by Veronika Kozachenok, “Intuitive Composition” which is the artist's first solo exhibition.
In her paintings, many of which contain the word "intuition" in their titles, the artist makes interesting experiments with space and composition. Breaking the linear principles of image construction, she follows the path of modeling an isometric* environment. Inspired by the principles of parametric architecture and translating those into the field of fine art, she creates multi-dimensional geometric systems and modifies them by controlling different parameters.
The transformation of space creates an unexpected surreal effect. The constant presence of a human figure in the composition, a character who finds him/herself in an "inhuman" abstract environment, confuses the viewer. Here a layer of psychologism opens up. Veronika Kozachenok strives to achieve balance with her work. Through pause, slowing down and contemplation, she leads the viewer to overcome probable states of anxiety of the unknown and vagueness of the present moment. In her intuitive painting process, she does not oppose storm and stillness, light and shadow, but unites them into one, indicating the possibility of a new vision of situations, circumstances and people. This is how the inversion technique emerged.
Author's comment:
"White and black change places, but at the same time the figures of my characters become fragile and extremely touching."
*Isometry is an angle in which three sides of the figure are visible, all lines are at an angle parallel to 30°, while there are no perspective cuts.
