Autobiographical notes

... In my previous works (a series of "Inhabited Landscapes", . Cosmos, . "People with the goods", . "Narcissus", . "Wind", . "Sleepers" and others) criticism is a lot of interesting things: "a philosophical view", . "social problems", . "lonely man", . "The irony and the grotesque", . "atmosphere of Soviet life", . "fantastic realism" and even the existence of some "secret".,
. I hope that in the new series "not material" they will not find anything like this
. Yes, and that can be found in these scraps of paper, children and old doodle kvitantsiyahN nostalgia and admiration corruptible traces of someone's past life there is certainly no.
. Maybe, . is an attempt to comer with his arm all the litter away from the above-mentioned significant and do, . that should be of interest to the artist: the plane sheet, . Arrangement, . rhythm, . color, . relationships of various structures and spots, and their contrast and harmony.,
. That is probably true, the eternal theme of art
. And "Secret" too. It would be nice just to do it without bias, following the intuition, and not someone else's designs.
By the way, about the samples: they say that the ancient poets and artists dzenbuddisty, reaching heights of his career, after forty years, changed the name and start from scratch ..

. ... About six months ago I noticed, . that of my, . say so, . Non-figurative experiments (series "Negligible") itself, . regardless of the author, . began to emerge that something resembling an unknown alphabet unknown language, . like, . perhaps, . the Far Eastern characters,
. Being absolutely sure that this script does not exist, I called this unsolicited emerged a series of "Apocrypha", that is, something is not canonical and even "sacred"

. In publishing its latest booklet and trying to somehow improve its quality, . I visited the printing, . where I discovered a huge number of marriage, . samples and all kinds of printing waste, . in which my unfortunate work prepared and ranged from the stunning and daring impudence,
. And these "variations" or "version" seemed so expressive and original, that I decided to match the desired exposure in one of seven originals and seven printing "versions" of each of them. Seven posters show "development" theme of one of the printing

. In another section of the exhibition "The walls of the opposition" also presents new work, . theme of which have been all sorts of slogans and inscriptions on the walls of houses, . Garages, . fences and control, . ie brushing, . veiled, . erasing and flushing, . that all together creates a unique abstract compositions,
.
"INKUBUSY-2"
Many know, but not many have seen as a tectonic force, or time itself immersed in the abyss of continents, civilizations, cities and smaller objects, say, the same witness.
Sometimes after a day or thousands of the disappeared reappear from tainsvenyyh depths and brought before the eyes of other witnesses have already - we are in you.
And what do we see in this sluchaeN Unknown gadget, causing the memory vaguely unfamiliar words: ziggurat-ortostat-cenotaph-Apadana-mestaba-SPLA-necropolis .....
To say that any more clear about the newfound not possible. It seems that all this was also found unknown archaeological expedition, place and time of the excavation could not be established, as, indeed, to attribute themselves finds.
With uverennstyu can say only one thing - all things together by some common spirit unfriendly insularity, some similarities elusive and exasperating obscurity of his destination and origin.
One could assume that already had seen earlier "Inkubusy" will help shed light on the mystery of those obscure PRA (or postN) images.
Criticism

Graphic and picturesque characters G. Basyrova perfectly recognizable and could easily become a "hallmark" of the artist. During the restructuring, they - featureless, massive, floating in the air, or conversely, buried in the debris - were duplicated many times in magazines, newspapers, on posters as "victims and the generation of totalitarianism," or, in the language of the artist - "objects". (It birthplace G. Basyrova - gulag labor camp N26 Akmola region in Kazakhstan - talked about much). But the artist is not for nothing that the pulse of time, catching his underlying changes. In the early nineties Basyrov drastically change its style, moving away from figurative painting to abstract works. So they make a series of "material", exhibited in the Tretyakov Gallery. That the Museum of Oriental Art Basyrov exposes "characters" - signs of their own, basyrovskogo letters ...
The current exhibition continues to "surprise" Basyrova. Outraged visitors vernissage not seen any pictures or at least "something" hanging on the walls. The exhibition consists of five large open boxes, which are exposed wood, metal, and in general it is not clear what figures made seemingly of all that came across his arm. But if you scrutinize, . we can easily and enthusiastically recognize in them something long familiar, . ancient, . primitive, . of Sumer, . Ancient Egypt, . Ancient Archaic, . Africa, . ancient cultures of America and even the, . that the artist described as "the archaeological traces of the future of civilizations",
. This is the eternal symbol of ourselves, or seen, or excavated from somewhere inside Basyrova.
. Inkubusy, translated from Latin, it is the guardians of treasures (literally: "lying on the Treasure") and they are the same - the nightmares, the famous incubi, are the sinners, and procuring their
. That figure - whether the pupa, or idols - of the collective unconscious, which lies at the basis of the human psyche and culture in general. In daylight, rational mind this does not make out. Inkubusy something they want to tell us his silence. Indeed the world has changed, if they suddenly become visible gazed at them the artist. Well, we are left to peer into what makes the artist, through this learning about themselves ...
