Valery Whimof "Closing late Holocene" / Painting, drawing

Exhibition of works by Valery Himova – anniversary retrospective - provides a familiarity with different areas of his pictorial practice. Various - on the subject, materials and technique of execution, the mood... At the same time, this "difference" the author does not prevent its recognition is a distinctive feature. In the title of the exhibition was the finale of the lowered stage curtain – the author's feeling of end of an era, the end of time – timelessness. Promodiva curtain, the artist invites the viewer to look again at the pictures of the passing world – there are already dismantled the scenery and stagehands, as the labour ants, hosted in an abandoned house. ...the black sea sank back with Kichi, walks well, the spray throws, throws glasses against the wall white noise hisses minus one beer karaoke until the closing late Holocene. always comes out sparkling with nitrogen from the blood, taken on the breath of a loan is returned to space duty, freeing it, the tide comes in glacial, as the female manifestation of impermanence. The poetics of painting Valery Uchikawa is inextricably linked to his poetics of words, imagery and mode of expression - irony. The story of phantasmagoria of the Odessa Opera, the Minotaur is on Boom, the rape of Europa, dreams of Gogol, side by side with the landscape of the desert shore Karolino-Buhaz, a still life of flowers in a vessel, the writings of the vine, old houses... Valery Whimof reticent in colour, preferring the subtle nuances of conventionally figurative, metaphorical, his world is desolate, and inhabited by only one observer, peeping through the crack pushed back the curtain. The observer - the one who will extinguish the candles in the Parting (of the 45th) symphonies of Haydn. One by one, the musicians leave the stage, melts the light and in the dark uplotnitelya shrill squeak a seat in the stalls.
