MARRIAGE CONTRACT. 2019
140x100 cm
Acrylic on canvas
This art work was created by the artist during the performance at the opening solo exhibition "The AnOther Skin" by Vasili Zianko in Vienna in December 2019 (Desiderio Gallery Nº1 Art Lounge). The performance was called "MARRIAGE CONTRACT". The artist painted the girl's body, putting a special meaning into the use of colors and strokes:
⠀
White color - symbolized tenderness, purity, love and spirituality.
Red - violence, blood, cruelty and death.
A red handprint on a woman's nude body, like a sentence, like a seal, on a doomed life and fate - the price that a woman sometimes pays for marriage...
