"Reconstruction of Space"
'The
achievements of the ancient Greek civilization, which
became the basis of the European civilization, at every
stage of its development were an ideal and
universal source of new senses. The Northern Black
Sea region and Dnepr-Bug estuary as its component were
the part of the ancient Oykhumena and belonged to the
vast Black Sea/Mediterranean cultural region.
Olvia - the northernmost spot of the Oykhumena
- is a compact model of the ancient Greek civilization
in the Northern Black Sea lands. Working with
the material from the ancient town, the artist is given
such a complex of characteristics of this local space
that provides the sensation of the interrelationship
with the whole of the Mediterranean cultural and historical
space, the sensation of involvement into the orbit
of the ancient world. There occurs a certain integration
of past and present, evoking a longing to level the
time, the ontological importance of which is being reduced.
Space is absolute and is being investigated and reconstructed
by means of modern art. The artist, in his
creative experiments, consecutively develops the method
of artistic reconstruction that strives for new ways
of creative work on the verge of science and art
employing analysis of visual, aesthetic, ethic and other
ideas contained in the archeological object and
their new artistic organization'.
