Curator Irina Shulzhenko
Young and completely different from each other, auto-didactic artists have never studied painting professionally, but each has its own special background, which partly determines their expressive language. An autodidact artist is often freer in developing his aesthetics than those over whom the school dominates. However, self-taught are more difficult to fit into the context of institutions. To find their own identity, they need to constantly be open to experiment and study the visual context around them.
Jolie Alien is a young model for whom painting is, above all, a way to express and capture their own impressions and thoughts, using collage compositions and complementary colors.
Yuri Samoilov - screenwriter, director. In the works explores the boundaries of the figurative and abstract.
Pavel Solovyov is a top manager from the world of advertising and marketing, exploring the identity of a person in the modern world and creating monochrome works that inherit the search for Paul Klee and Juan Miro.
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.
