“Labyrinth of Time” and childhood

The exhibit “Labyrinths of Time” is a combination of nice romantic old little cupboards by Oleksandra Korol and touching images in the paintings by Olha Soloviova. The feature that unites the works of both authors is a tender, nostalgic attitude to warm family memories, established family values, and touching human relations.

Oleksandra Korol makes dolls of paper clay and room-boxes, doll houses, and doll miniatures, of various materials. According to experts, her creative work is unique in Ukraine, although the doll houses like this are very popular in Europe. The gallery Parsuna will continue to exhibit the room-boxes by Oleksandra Korol.

The master’s miniatures are related to theater scale models where not only the space decision is presented, but also the image of the show, its spirit and style. The author also has very joyful, unusual voluminous (3D) mini still lifes in Dutch style, with vegetables and flowers being copied so accurately that they look fantastically illusive.

Olha Soloviova’s pictures have an expressive art style. They feature limitless tenderness and piercing defenselessness. The indefiniteness of the space, the implied prospect make the objects look light and unreal, hovering in the air. The artist rarely depicts concrete motifs. The indefiniteness of the place, certain anonymousness of silhouettes and faces, allusions, analogies, memories, and metaphoric nature are overwhelming. As a rule, Olha Soloviova works in light cold blue range of colors without contrasts and extra multicoloredness. All these moments make the artist’s pictures extremely sincere and unforgettable.
