The authors have had an attempt to breathe life into the artistic method which sunked to oblivion — Suprematism. To boot, there was “The Black Square”’s centenary last year — the suprematist ideas quintessence. According to Malevich’s precept and the suprematist theory evolved by him, we have rethought this painting method with the modern capability — photoghraphy. The exposition is a pastiche to Malevich’s suprematist squares, the 4th square is a try to represent, visualize the suprematist mirror. The offer exposition is to become the most notable (lately) remembrance about artist’s impact into the world culture: the genius’ glorification through his creative method’s reconsideration. The invaluable Malevich’s breakthrough is exactly in the reconstruction both the approach towards painting and the fine art in general.
In our hands photography incarnates painting of modern type, to boot – suprematist one; we take nudity as the “painting material”, isolating this kind of plastic form out of the living picture named “nature” and making that a structural unit of the composite formation; we are not interested in “human” as a self-value, but as a construct demanded by a creator, who faces the following task — “to express the feel of strengths, that cultivates in psychophysiological spheres of human existing.” (K.S. Malevich)
The format, composite contours and colours have been chosen corresponding to the author’s.
