BARKSKIN SERIES
Making “Barkskin” Irina was partly inspired by a wistful longing for the post-soviet times: the subtle dilapidation of stark unadorned constructivist forms which over time have become eased and animated by their peeling layers. These soviet structures once bold and futuristic and built with uncompromising visual grammar, have through neglect and decay become lyrical.
Razumovskaya: - I come to these forms through research on various cultures and always bear in mind their reflection on my own reality, my everyday life. This way every artwork has a personal meaning for me. For the viewer however, I prefer the experience to be more ambiguous and open to various interpretations and possibilities.
