Place: Sevastopol Art Museum named after Kroshitsky
Time: January 6, 2014
Kyiv master Vladymur Filippov, who was born and raised in Sevastopol, presented his works.
Exhibition "Painting" covering the period of Filippov's work from 1998 to 2014.
All the author's works are united by the eternal theme of Love and Death, and imbued with the spirit of Christmas. It is no coincidence that Holy Evening was chosen for the opening of the exhibition.
At the exhibition you can see such programmatic paintings "Manifestation" (1989), "First Called" (1999) as well as a new series of works "Chained Passions" (2009-2014).
Three completely different approaches to non-objective art were combined in a single exhibition:
For the early Vladymur Filippov, an attempt to reveal the Prototype through abstract reasoning is obvious, but they still retain allusions to the figurative.
In the late nineties, the author was characterized by spontaneously expressive painting in the spirit of neo-Ukrainian baroque. In his paintings you can see the primordial chaos - ideas, objects before they materialized.
Canvases painted today - almost in the full sense of the word, are marked by obvious restraint. It is through a rigid structure that the author tries to streamline the passions that absorb everything, penetrating into the world, and destroy the fundamental principle of Love with lust.
Christmas is a bright holiday of hope for Salvation, it was at Christmas that the Door was opened to mankind. From now on, it depends on each individual, on his personal choice - whether he will enter this Door and be Saved or remain to perish in the passions of this world.
"I am the door: whoever enters by me will be saved, and will go in and out, and find pasture" (John 10:9)
There is only one step from Death to Love, but sometimes it is impossible to take this step!
