La Realtà Zusammen
Moscow, Russia 2013
Where does reality begin? No one can honestly say that there is a single reality for all of humanity or for a particular society. It is even conceivable that reality is inseparable from individuality, and that the desired version of reality is a unique collection of our ideas about the world. Creative work is not as spontaneous as it may seem to an outside observer, but through it the unconscious gets a chance to go beyond its own limits. Thus, on the one hand, it loses its own reality; on the other hand, it becomes the impetus for the viewer to realize the part of being that is reflected in the artwork. The century-old tradition of non-objective art is still relevant. During its development, abstract art has been modified and has acquired additional meanings and nuances. It has developed its contemporary artistic language, close to conceptualism, expressing the artist’s gesture and imbuing movement and tactile contact with the surface with meaning. Conceptualism is abstract in itself, and even appropriated objects and items of everyday reality do not carry simple or clear meanings. The language of abstract art creates a structure of reality, emerging from the entire set of actions of the artist. Using different techniques and surfaces, including collages, monotype, and text, Eva Harut creates a complete and clear representation of reality, which excites and interests her. Each artwork from the series evokes the desire to examine and touch it. Furthermore, Eva has managed to absorb and transform the experiences gained from the rich history of abstract painting. Her references to the experiments of Kandinsky, Zlotnikov, and Yves Klein make her artworks even more thoughtful.
