Anton Kushaev
Untitled by Anton Kushaev - Surrealist painting, oil and acrylic on canvas, 2022

2022

About the Item

The Untitled is part of the series "Frame of Sorrows" created by Anton Kushaev for the installation at Voskhod Gallery's showcase in Basel in 2022. This painting was exhibited in the left side of the central window. In this series the artist explores grief and loss as a pervasive social condition. The surrealistic paintings can be seen as deconstructed icons, where faces are substituted by architectural elements falling apart, foreshadowing an impending end. The installation enhanced the perception thanks to its industrial surroundings: the murals behind the paintings created mystical portals of grief within mechanical world, immersing viewers in irrational anxieties. - Anton Kushaev, born in. 1983, graduated from an icon painting school, but his main inspiration has always been the visual style of metaphysical paintings and surrealism, what can be seen in paintings (e.g., frequent reference to Dali's crutches). In his artistic practice Anton continuously revises the symbolic systems of the art history, always questioning: "What is an image? How it is related to the inconceivable and where are the boundaries of the language as a structure of knowledge?" His recent solo exhibitions include: 2022 - "Frame of sorrows" / Voskhod Gallery / Basel 2020 - "Barren flower" / Szena gallery / Moscow.
 2018 - "You, only after" / Szena gallery / Moscow.
 2017 - "Without support" / Elektrozavod gallery / Moscow.
 2017 - "Unfit place" / space "Red" / Moscow.
 2017 - "Questionable basis" / project START Winzavod / Moscow.

  • In My Solitude
    Located in Ibadan, Oyo
    Nudity in art has historically been a contentious subject, often raising questions about beauty standards, objectification, and the human form. In "In My Solitude," however, Edwin treats nudity with sensitivity and purpose. The nude figure, devoid of clothing and external trappings, serves as a metaphor for vulnerability and raw authenticity. It becomes a powerful statement on embracing one's true self, stripped of societal expectations and external judgments. The choice of the yoga position is not arbitrary in Edwin's composition. Yoga has long been associated with self-discovery, inner peace, and spiritual enlightenment. The woman's serene posture exudes a sense of calmness and introspection. Through this position, Edwin suggests that solitude and self-reflection are integral to personal growth and inner strength. It encourages viewers to embrace moments of introspection and find solace in their own thoughts, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding of themselves. Edwin's meticulous attention to detail and symbolism further enriches the narrative of "In My Solitude." The subtle play of light and shadow highlights the contours of the woman's body, accentuating the vulnerability and emotional depth captured in the artwork. The artist's skillful brushwork evokes a sense of intimacy, drawing the viewer into the private world of the subject. The title itself, "In My Solitude," adds an additional layer of meaning. Solitude, often associated with loneliness, is reimagined as a source of inner strength and self-discovery. Edwin invites viewers to contemplate the transformative power of spending time alone, away from distractions and truly connecting with oneself. Crixtover Edwin...
