Time to judge the exception (2020) Peinture par Gennadiy V. Ivanov

Gennady’s works is a wide variety of media, including paintings, installations, drawings, and photography. Bringing these media together into a provocative collision, Gennady’s work mine a territory defined by not only the specters of recent world political history but also the deeply flowing social veins of underground style as manifested in the popular culture realms of street art fashion and experimental dance and music.
Gennady’s works walk a tightrope between West-East remembrance and the rigorous anti-logic of dream analysis while also touching on art historical references ranging from Van Gogh to Frances Bacon.
It might be possible to trace Gennady’s focus on the vagaries of memory, history and subcultural style to his parallel life as a poet, fiction writer, and historian. His curatorial projects 2014-2018 evidenced a refined display of the artists multitasking painterly practice as well as his oneiric* Historical analytic. The artist brought into proximity a series of canvases that ranged from quasi-psychedelic non-representational liquid (oily) pours to expressively figurative large-scale canvases. The artworks painterly invocations of phyla-political analysis of the history of the 20-21st century globalist’s masculinity. To his credit, he creates a level of narrative ambiguity in these works that is suggestive without being dogmatic.

His works addressed the acts of looking and seeing, and considers the way in which painting can stake a claim for itself amid the proliferation of contemporary visual formats. Elements from public activities such a walking, literature, music, history, mythology, philosophy and travel appear in this work as a way to make there elements accessible to a broad audience.
