Galina Ivanov: REMINISCENCIJA / REMINISSENCE

This artwork demands an in-depth study of itself. The artist is trying to mislead us - by offering us, at first glance, a sappy emotional story.
However, 'Reminissence' is everything but - it tell the story of enslavement caused by inescapable attraction. The addiction (in this case, I personally believe it is the addiction to narcotics) is powerfully incarnated in the given symbols. Magnetically seductive and ominous it (the addiction) is in conflict with symbolically represented author that yields to it, although she knows it is the path to annihilation.
Thanks the schizoid atmosphere of this artwork, we can literally HEAR the outcry of her lost, abused soul begging for help.
In short - this is an extraordinary depiction of the fall and self-destruction and the inability of the natus to resist it...

Ovaj rad zahtijeva studiozan pristup. Umjetnica želi da nas zavara - nudeći nam, na prvi pogled, sladunjavu priču.

A "Reminiscencija" može biti sve ali samo ne to - ona pripovijeda o ropstvu izazvanom neodoljivom privlačnošću. Ovisnost (intimno, smatram da je ovdje u pitanju ovisnost o narkoticima) je ovdje tako moćno otjelovljena.

Magnetski privlačna i zlokobna ona (ovisnost) je suprotstavljena simbolički predstavljenoj autorici koji pristaje na nju - iako zna da je to put uništenja.

Zahvaljujući šizofernoj atmosferi, ovdje naprosto možemo ČUTI urlik njezine izgubljene, zlostavljane duše koja poziva u pomoć.

Ukratko - ovo je izuzetan prikaz pada i destrukcije i nemogućnosti natusa da se tomu odupre...
