For almost 20 years we have been working on creating costumes and art objects for artists, show business artists, TV shows, theaters, festivals and movies in a certain medium. Since the beginning of 2022, we have created our own artistic statement – Allegorical symbolism. We set ourselves the task of creating vital works, be it painting, sculpture, poetry or melodeclamation – everything should have positive impulses, which we include both in the title of the works and in the use of a color palette.
We are not closed inside ourselves, we are interested in interacting with the world and integrating our art and vision into third-party and interesting projects. We encode meanings through symbols, creating unique images, sounds and literary readings.
Pospekhova Elena – multidisciplinary artist
Saint Petersburg State University of Technologies and Design
A multidisciplinary artist who formalizes her philosophical attitude to her own personality and to the world around her through symbolism and the transformation of objects into a complex stylistic graphic form, artistic utterance as immersion into the sacred world of the synthesis of sensations and time.
Pospekhov Denis – sound / cooperation issues
Saint Petersburg State Institute of Film and Television
Existential understanding of the atmosphere of the sound space through the prism of wave influences on human consciousness. Immersing the listener in the conceived reality and focusing his attention on important points through non-trivial musical solutions. Understanding projects through the form of an observer, devoid of personal preferences and evaluation.
MANIFEST
Allegorically using symbolism, based on philosophical and cultural concepts about the Inner and Outer and the mythological nature of consciousness, the Pospekhovs create artefacts that contain intuitive coding of meanings.
Archaic meanings, frozen in artifacts in the form of sacred traditions, dissolve in the symbiosis of painting, sculpture, poetry created by Pospekhova Elena and musical accompaniment written by Pospekhov Denis, finding a balance between the past and the present.
Mythology as art and mythology as material are used by the Pospekhovs to reveal formative meanings into a single ethereal space of self-expression.
The impulses sealed in poetry manifest through melodic declamation the idea of a common and private human path, in which sound and voice become the breath of meanings.
Paintings consciously convey artistic images in a simplified graphic form, based on the symbolism of animalism and the importance of the color used, created by characteristic and textured strokes. Titles of works are an important key to understanding the underlying meanings.
The sculptures are a continuation of the paintings released into space in the form of the idea of the universe as a personified creative force born from the World Egg. The sculpture comes to life in white stone form, as a mythopoeic symbol, as a tribute to the greatness of ancient white stone monuments of Russian Culture. The embodiment of sculpture in color symbolizes the generalized and sensual perception of the painting work, of which it is a continuation.
We live and work in St. Petersburg, Russia.
