Again About Time

Dear Art Lover, dear Collector,

With warm, sunny days ahead, I would like to invite you to visit the exhibition Again About Time with the most recent works by Natalya Zaloznaya.

From her new home in Genoa, the artist elaborates as follows: “Sometimes time stands still…or flows out of time. And then you can hear eternity. One day, sitting on a warm summer day and watching the shadows of the leaves on the grass sway under the rays of the midday sun, a strange thought came to me, I thought that the time would come and I would no longer see it, and time would also flow further and the sun’s rays would have exactly the same sway. And everything will be again and again, always.”

There is also a selection of smaller works by Katerina Belkina (including the last available “Greeting the Rising Star”) and Boy With Thorn by Tania Kandracienka.

From the upcoming weekend of May 5 until May 21, the gallery will be open weekly from Thursday to Sunday, from 13:00 to 17:00.

Restaurant VanDijk in Heusden has my recommendation for your possible dinner plans. A special Gallery package has been put together for the customers of the gallery (reservation is recommended and I can of course also do it for you).

I would like to hear about your interest and hope for a sunny reunion.

Spinario by Tania Kandracienka, solo exhibition

TANIA KANDRACIENKA

SPINARIO, Boy With Thorn

June 5  – July 4 2021

With great pleasure I invite you, from June 5th, to visit the new painting exhibition of the new artist of the gallery.

Tania Kandracienka is, besides her autonomous artistry, a PhD professor in Classical Drawing Art at the famous Minsk Art Academy and is a highly appreciated representative artist from the Minsk-school from Belarus. Her fabulous technique that has a distinct and postmodern use of colour combined with traditional clair-obscur which is typical for her style.

‘The Boy who removes a thorn from his foot’, also known as Spinario (click here for a small video https://youtu.be/MnMGhCL2nmk), a worldfamous Hellenistic image from the Capitoline museum in Rome, forms the theme for the paintings by Tania Kandracienka in this exhibition. The barefoot human figure in an active concentration and confined in his own world, the the main motiv for this series. The young men who is not yet estranged from his origine and literally has feeling with the earth; a man without contamination, from his soles to his crown as Spinario from Rome was once characterized.

I am looking forward to sharing my admiration for the appealing work of this new artist in the gallery with you!

26 September t/m 15 November 2020

 

Galerie Lilja Zakirova opent op 26 september aanstaande een tentoonstelling met een verrassende nieuwe serie schilderijen van Natalya Zaloznaya. De poëtische sfeer die de presentaties van de Russische galeriste Lilja Zakirova zo vaak ademen en die voor een belangrijk deel voortvloeien uit haar keuze, wordt wederom bewaarheid in deze expositie die de zinnenprikkelende titel DELIGHT draagt.

De in Brussel woonachtige Wit-Russische kunstenares Natalya Zaloznaya (1960) exposeert al sinds 2004 bij Galerie Lilja Zakirova en heeft sindsdien internationale faam verworven. Zowel in Rusland als in verschillende Europese landen wordt het talent van Natalya Zaloznaya onderkend. Zo was zij één van de vertegenwoordigers van Wit-Rusland op de Biënnale van Venetië van 2005 en is werk van haar opgenomen in onder meer de Tretjakov Gallery in Moskou en in het Belarussische Staatsmuseum in Minsk. Ook in Londen en in Brussel, oogst haar werk grote bewondering en erkenning.

Kenmerkend voor haar artistieke proces is het werken in series, waarin zij één specifiek motief uitwerkt.  Toch kan er bij nadere beschouwing altijd een terugkerend thema in deze series herkend worden. Steeds opnieuw koppelt zij twee, ogenschijnlijk niet verenigbare werelden aan elkaar. Gewichtloosheid versus Zwaartekracht, Binnenwereld naast Buitenwereld, Microkosmos gekoppeld aan Macrokosmos; Tegenwoordigheid versus Herinnering. Door daarnaast in haar schilderkunstige beeldtaal andere artistiek-technische procedés te citeren zoals bijvoorbeeld het negatiefbeeld van de fotografie of een specifieke druktechniek, koppelt zij een hedendaagse, conceptuele werkwijze aan de klassieke verbeelding van de schilder.

In de schilderijen van haar meest recente serie DELIGHT, maakt Zaloznaya een sensatie zichtbaar waar geen beelden voor bestaan: de smaak. Zij wil een interne gewaarwording extern en concreet maken door er kleuren en vormen aan te koppelen. Deze omringen de zich spijzigende personages en worden opgenomen in hun gestalten terwijl de kleuren losgekoppeld lijken van specifieke ledematen en lichaamsdelen. De sensatie van het proeven neemt een surreële ruimte in die in sommige werken zelfs kan samenvloeien in en met een ander personage.

En opnieuw plaatst zij een paradoxaal gegeven in een groter concept en krijgt het een meer universele, wellicht zelfs Bijbelse duiding: het eerste begin van het leven waarin het toedienen van voedsel, het eten, de eerste kennismaking met de wereld betekent. Het aanraken, het proeven, het al dan nìet eten. Het oordelen en het begrijpen van de dingen. De vereniging met de wereld en met de ander.

Zeker de twee doeken uit deze serie, waarop een schijnbaar oneindige tafel zich in een diagonaal tot óver het doek uitstrekt, en waaraan een evenzeer oneindig aantal disgenoten samen aan de maaltijd zit, lijkt de individuele ervaring van het smaakzintuig als een apotheose te ontstijgen en in een breder kader te zetten.

De inhoudelijke èn artistieke gelaagdheid van het werk van Natalya Zaloznaya krijgt in deze serie DELIGHT opnieuw een uitermate boeiende verbeelding.

U wordt van harte uitgenodigd deze tentoonstelling te komen bekijken.
