Куратор Ирина Шульженко

Молодые и совершенно непохожие друг на друга художники-автодидакты никогда не учились живописи профессионально, но каждый имеет свой особенный бэкграунд, который отчасти обуславливает их выразительный язык. Художник-автодидакт часто свободнее в разработке своей эстетики, чем те, над кем довлеет школа. Однако самоучкам сложнее вписываться в контекст институций. Чтобы найти собственную идентичность, им нужно постоянно быть открытым к эксперименту и изучать визуальный контекст вокруг себя.

Jolie Alien – молодая модель, для которой живопись прежде всего – способ выразить и зафиксировать собственные впечатления и мысли, используя коллажные композиции и комплементарные цвета.

Юрий Самойлов – сценарист, режиссёр. В работах исследует границы фигуративного и абстрактного.

Павел Соловьев – топ-менеджер из мира рекламы и маркетинга, исследующий идентичность человека в современном мире и создающий монохромные работы, наследующие поискам Пауля Клее и Хуана Миро.

Solovyev Paul

Paul Solovyev, a multidisciplinary artist, equally comfortable existing both in gallery spaces and in interventions in the urban and natural environment. Paul is interested in the phenomenon of destruction and ideologization of the image in nobrow culture. In his works, subcultural and iconic signs mutate, flowing into each other, dissolving and disappearing, sacred, political and advertising symbols.

Pavel Soloviev is a multidisciplinary autodidact artist working in performance, non spectacle art, readymade, installation, photography, painting and drawing. Drawing on the influence of his previous professional experience in advertising and fashion, Pavel focuses on quirer aspects of identity that challenge notions of representation and the eschatological potential of the image. In his projects, Paul explores the transformation and transgression of the image in the stream of sacred, mystical, political and advertising symbols that fill the mediums of contemporary mass culture.

Pavel's works are in private and corporate collections in the USA, UK, Spain, Germany, France, Japan, the Netherlands, Ukraine and Russia.

He lives and works in Moscow.

SELECTED PUBLICATIONS:

Alien Jolie

An autodidact artist, she works with catchy images, simple plots, cropped compositions and expressive drawings. Each of Jolie's works is introspective, connected with personal memories, which partly explains her visual language, which is intertwined with surreal images, simple geometric patterns, catchy inscriptions made with paint and spray.

Born in 2002 in Moscow.

Graduated from the Joseph Bakstein Institute of Contemporary Art. A nominee for the Art Theater Prize in the contemporary art section for her solo exhibition “Dry Nettles” at MMOMA.

Jolie combines her art studies with a career in the fashion industry, participating in shows for such brands as Valentino, Off-White, Jil Sander, Paco Rabanne, Prada, Vivienne Westwood, Simone Rocha and others. She has starred in international advertising campaigns for Mango, Fendi and Adidas. The rights to use the image of her work “Whirpool” were acquired by Mango for a collection of T-shirts worldwide. She has been featured in Document Journal, Vogue.com, InStyle, Elle and Badlone.

The artist works with eye-catching imagery, simple subjects, framed compositions and expressive drawing. Jolie's visual language weaves together surreal imagery, geometric patterns and brightly colored lettering to create a collage effect reminiscent of graffiti. Jolie outlines a youth to which she has direct access and which is closed to the adult world. As an artist, she values and prioritizes perception over reflection, the intuitiveness and automaticity of her paintings kin them to the art brut and works of Jean Dubuffet.

Her works are in the museum collections of the Siyaniye Center, Apatity, MMOMA (Russia), as well as in private collections in Russia, China, Japan, Belgium and America.

She lives and works between Moscow, London and Tokyo.
