Razumovskaya Irina

Razumovskaya Irina, Irina Razumovskaya creates visions of ageing of the architecture, where every peeling layer of surface gives a context to a history and time. To do this, she chooses the material and organic language of ceramics. She uses laconic forms and lets the very nature of clay create its own narrative and identity. The artist's latest works, including "Melt", were inspired by a wistful longing for the post-soviet times. The subtle dilapidation of stark, una- dorned constructivist forms, which over time have become eased and animated by their peel- ing layers that resemble tree bark. These soviet structures, once bold and futuristic and built with uncompromising visual grammar, have through neglect and decay become lyrical. -- Unique Shipped from Italy Item liable to VAT 2019
