Transformation, 2014

Anatoly Kost  

This picture is a transformation of music on canvas, so it is accompanied and broadcast by:

Visiomix - Michal Oginski "Polonaise".

"Up the stairs that lead down."

Listening to "Polonaise" and watching "Transfiguration", the viewer sees the contours of the face. Thanks to the technique used by the artist, we see the transformation of the face. How light strokes appear on dark black and blue tones. Each viewer will see their own transformation, whether from a bright, lightly lit corner to a darkened, plain left corner.

Concept

The painting "Transfiguration" by the outstanding Ukrainian artist Anatoly Kosta (Kostiuk). The picture was painted in 2014 in the artist's Volyn workshop and was presented at many exhibitions. First of all, this picture belongs to the Triptych "Nirvana", which was presented at the exhibition in the National Art Museum of Ukraine.

The artist adheres to the concept of the process of transmuting the energy of abstract art into the energy of music or choreography and vice versa, emphasizing their mutual polyphonic nature. Masterpieces of world musical classics and choreography are a significant factor in the inspiration of his work, which became the basis for defining a personal philosophical direction in abstraction, namely contemp-abstraction (a plastic representation of his inner state). Anatoly Kost used the slogan ArtHouse abstraction (derived from ArtHouse cinema) as a category of artistic form of communication with the viewer, through the formalization of the concept of Viѕіozong (a composition of several works), as an illustrated accompaniment to a musical or choreographic action.
