sep. 2, 2011 - oct. 15, 2011 Valera IskhakovThe Spiral, a title of the Iskhakov's new show at Dalet Gallery, is used by the artist as an allegory for enhanced dimensionality of his paintings. This increase of depth of layers and meanings does not result in any significant shift from Valera's trademark hedonistic style as much as it results in addition of new stylistic and emotional dimensions. By analogy to a curve which revolves around a central point but in the same time gets progressively father away from it, his essential visual vocabulary remains unchanged (sensual female bodies, or sill life with rhythmical patterns on the background), but a viewer can see how different in spirit his latest paintings are from the retrospective works, exhibited nearby. |
