THE POSPEKHOVS

Allegorically using symbolism, based on philosophical and cultural concepts about the Inner and Outer and the mythological nature of consciousness, the Pospekhovs create artefacts that contain intuitive coding of meanings.
Archaic meanings, frozen in artifacts in the form of sacred traditions, dissolve in the symbiosis of painting, sculpture, poetry created by Pospekhova Elena and musical accompaniment written by Pospekhov Denis, finding a balance between the past and the present.
Mythology as art and mythology as material are used by the Pospekhovs to reveal formative meanings into a single ethereal space of self-expression.
The impulses sealed in poetry manifest through melodic declamation the idea of a common and private human path, in which sound and voice become the breath of meanings.
Paintings consciously convey artistic images in a simplified graphic form, based on the symbolism of animalism and the importance of the color used, created by characteristic and textured strokes. Titles of works are an important key to understanding the underlying meanings.
The sculptures are a continuation of the paintings released into space in the form of the idea of the universe as a personified creative force born from the World Egg. The sculpture comes to life in white stone form, as a mythopoeic symbol, as a tribute to the greatness of ancient white stone monuments of Russian Culture. The embodiment of sculpture in color symbolizes the generalized and sensual perception of the painting work, of which it is a continuation.
