Once again in the KH Space - an exhibition of Belarusian deviant art. This time - serious formats and serious authors. Mikhail Bulich and Konstantin Ladoshkin. Two Belarusian deviant artists.
Mikhail Bulich's paintings are archetypes, splashed out in an endless stream in any material on any surface. His art is monological. It does not require evaluation, response, or interactivity. He says. Talks about stars, gods, planets, earth, women, moons. He speaks as they spoke thousands of years ago. Without internal control, without the correct, careful super-ego that we have created over millennia. We can remember that the artist has autism, that he is naive. Yes. And this is a reason for sadness and envy. Why sad? Because due to autism, Mikhail Bulich did not become like an ordinary person. Why envy? Because we will never be like him.
Konstantin Ladoshkin. Frozen graphic images of Soviet saints with complete contempt for coloristic cliches - this is his work. His art is a trap, a trap of time and a trap of disturbed thinking. These are visualized turns of the labyrinth, in which the Soviet bright past of wall newspapers drawn in the army, the stages and degrees of experienced personal failures and betrayals that followed the disease are intertwined. Cosmonautics Day - Lenin's birthday - wedding date. If the art of Mikhail Bulich is a narrative, then the art of Konstantin Ladoshkin is a traumatic fixation on the “shards of the era” and himself.
