YN-1-1
YN-1-1 is a creative duet of graduates of the St.Petersburg Stieglitz Academy of Art and Industry. They studied at the departments of applied arts, where they gained skills of working with traditional materials. They were united by a sincere interest to study nature and its influence on the visual arts. "Young Naturalists" bring their reflections and insights concerned nature into the field of art. In their work they combine traditional craft techniques with modern methods, thus underlining its importance in modern culture. The artists work mainly with sculpture and object design.

THE FIELD. THE RHYTHM
LUCH Gallery Solo Exhibition
1 July – 14 August 2023
Turning away from the digital reality, the artists of the YN-1-1 group find inspiration in alive nature. Creating a series of metal objects presented at the exhibition is inspired by the patterns and rhythms of natural phenomena: the change of seasons, flowering, plant structure, the uniqueness of ornaments created by the shadows of grasses, branches and leaves of trees. The visual effect that artists strive to reproduce has the intention to immerse the viewer into a state of calm contemplation.
Author's comment:
"The movement of foliage in the wind creates a fascinating optical light game. Fixing this impression, we present it in plane 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 interaction in mesh webs. This technique resembles the craftsmanship of embroidery and appliques. Working with aluminum we use the method of metal deformation and corrugate it similar to the way leaves and shoots bend in nature. The experience of interacting with the material helps us to see similar shaping processes in nature and to apply it in our art."
