All will die, and I — emerald

The beginning of the year is the time of making plans for the future, new beginnings, decisions and promises, but at the same time it’s time of superstitions, divination and horoscopes.

Alina Glazoun’s sculptures and objects work as Rorschach’s tests. Through thevelvet and crystal tigers and birds begin to utter vague prophecies, and the space of the gallery turns either into a shining Treasury or into a creepy Oracle.

Alina Glazoun easyly transforms the irony into a serious study. Her works are the riddles, the answers to which are absurd. She effortlessly puts her puzzle of the world made of children and adults, ordinary and high, turning one into another and staying somewhere in the middle. Artificial materials become “real” art, children’s alphabet becomes the basis of the world.

Alina Glazoun’s works combine Dada and pop-art. They attract our attention. “And that’s enough,” says the artist. How often do we try to come up with meanings that actually doesn’t exist and hide the emptiness with phrases and words, isn’t it better when art flickers with a lot of ideas and pushes us to associations at different levels, but it doesn’t try to build this flicker into a system, lead us to a common denominator.
