Original work from 2008.
Advanced technology has been developed alongside us. They depend on society's demands and political interests, but they are no longer directly connected to them, as they were during the time of the Cold War or the Arms Race. This technology is recognizable and unfamiliar at the same time. A scientific instrument is hard to depict, as there can be no anthropomorphic center. Moreover, as with the Dutch, the most emotionally intense events (such as the flights into space themselves), remain outside the frame.
The artist into enters a dialogue of science and art, based on the search for common threads of research of the world in terms of visibility and the world as a set of logically connected laws that can be understood and applied. The representation of « exactness » and objectiveness changed throughout the following centuries, as the atlas of visible phenomenon day « image culture », research has focused on fixing complex processes that have no analogies in art. Now it is popular opinion that art and science represent different types of knowledge - logic and instinct. Taisia shares this view; she considers her paintings, « an examination of the world through what is visible, as opposed to my own subjects, who try to understand it logically and began, in the end, to try to manage everything and everyone ». Thus for Taisia, as for the heroes of « Technology », work towards a final result demands both an interior and an exterior discipline.
She is like a mirror of the subjects of her paintings. The compositions, on the other hand, have been derived from photographs, but in their translation onto the picture plane, they are opened to varied interpretations.
The works of Taisia are often compared with icons, though this meets with a strong protest from the artist, as an attempt to connect her painting with Socialist Realism and Hyperrealism. The associations arise when the viewer tries the find meaning in scenes whose content is unfamiliar and to find allegory where it was never originally intended. Symbolism, references to religious painting, any similarity to thematic painting of Soviet times - all of these appear as watermarks that have sprung up on their own. They are already ingrained in the format of the painting, in the technique and the palette; they have just not been emphasized by theatrical staging. Taisia's paintings operate outside ideological directions, with all the traditional technique of her paintings.

Presentation
Born in Moscow in 1980, the painter and graphic artist Taisia Korotkova works on the subjects of relationships between human society and science, industry and contemporary technologies and also its influence on human life and ecology.
Before starting her work Taisia Korotkova usually does research, collects materials, meets specialists and scientists, which work is connected with the investigated topic.
One of the main techniques of Korotkova is an egg-tempera on gesso, on a wooden panel. It’s important for an artist that the technique of painting she uses complies with a natural perception of the human eye, when saturation and volume are connected directly with a luminosity. This technique allows her to play a game with time: Korotkova paints the events of the present like the deep past, constructing the sight from the future and showing the fast ageing of the new technologies. Also she works with etching, drawing and watercolor.
The most important for Taisia Korotkova is to formulate the questions, to open the discussions and create a composition without ready answers. Korotkova finds the subjects of her pictures in real life or composes them based on the real events. In 21-th century, in the ocean of information, an artist can find, analyse, choose, mix and show significant subjects. Exactly in this manner, Korotkova works on her projects, which include many different aspects of contemporary life.
Her works are part of the collections of Moscow Museum of Modern Art, State Tretyakov Gallery Moscow, Uppsala Konstmuseum, Uppsala commun, Republic of Austria, IRRA Moscow, German Titov’s collection, Smirnov & Sorokin Foundation. Participant of Utopia Lille 3000, “Novacene” project.
She lives and works in Milan.
