Join us for the opening reception for Russian artist Katerina Belkina. Works from two of her series will be on display, Empty Spaces and Not a Man's World.
Belkina puts the self-portrait phenomenon in a new setting. With unprecedented technical precision, she uses the refined possibilities of digital photography combined with painting and other techniques in order to present a disquieting image of the new woman in a postmodern world.
Her crystal-clear representations, which are at the same time of a strong pictorial character, are mainly aimed face-forward. This portrayal method strips the works of an anecdotal overtone and gives them the conceptual and abstract connotation of Russian icons. The idea put into a human form. Katerina Belkina is an artist who views man as a creature who looks for the boundaries of the connection with the universe by using soul and reason.
