Alexander Ossipov (TOTUR) creates dense and detailed oil paintings combining myth and memory, earthly and divine. The artist distorts and stylizes his subjects, paring them beside to geometric forms and blocks of color. Allegorical figures and animals are fractured and reassembled in shallow compositions, the pigmented planes and facets flattened onto the describe plane.
In Ossipov’s The Abduction of Europe, a nude female figure and a bull’s head part a cosmic space. Without a horizon, the two float in an uncomfortable space, the floundering, twisted body reaching in vain for the animal. The Trinity. Guests features three figures that allude to the holy trinity. Dressed in abstracted and heavily patterned robes later Byzantine halos of spacious radiating from their heads, the three holy figures undertake on the look of stained glass. Finally, Ossipov’s The Two Moons depicts an allegorical horned figure next door to an unspecified anthropomorphic shape, each patterned bearing in mind stripes of earthy color. In the background, two turquoise and brick red orbs slice across a black ground, creating a prudence of dueling opposition.
