Composition #1 «Material of time», Sasha Roschin
Material of time, the exhibition of a series of 12 abstract
paintings by St Petersburg experimental artist Sasha
Roshchin.
Sasha creates abstract paintings considering material and
technique the main elements of his art. The artist controls
the direction of material movement and sets the design with
the help of an air stream. This approach allows the paint to
leave a natural imprint on the canvas. Then the artist covers
the painting with transparent epoxy or gloss varnish. The coat
creates 3D-volume effect and conveys the impression of the
frozen paint movement.
For Sasha his art is the symbol of vitality. This is an abstract
field that shows something special for every viewer. The artist
deliberately avoids direct images and depicts pure
impression that has no particular name. This is a
combination of the artist's feelings and emotions which a
viewer can experience through contemplating the work.
During the exhibition the author suggests taking part in the
experiment: you can give a name to every picture, write it on
the special form and fill in the column ‘Impression’ or
‘Emotional condition’. You can also upload your photo of the
picture on Instagram with the hashtag of its number, for
example, #materialoftime01 and your ‘impression / emotional
condition’ response. This experiment will show whether an
abstract picture can convey the same impression for different
people, or everyone interprets it relying on his/her personal
experience.
