1995 'Portrait of Favorskogo. Problems. Process'. Since the late 1950's and now he is obsessed with removing abstraction at the semantic, . sign level, . giving it the status of the objective language messages, . in connection with which he created a series of literary texts, . accompanying "text" image (the text of these, . except for some fragments, . unpublished),
. Because he does not belong to the type of artists who meticulously craft their "dossier", the dating of items within a series, as well as some other information are approximate, from memory.
"Alert system" - the foundation of all his further experiments. Such an attempt to establish patterns of psycho-physiological motility, . nature of reactions subject to the color and shape, . determine the kind of constant valence of graphic signs and categories is unprecedented not only for Soviet art of the time, . but for the world,
. Part of "Signals" anticipate "systematic art" and "minimal art" 60-ies. Anticipate here - in a broader sense - and the scientific mind the 60's: the rise of the exact sciences, . access to the pragmatics (not accidentally Zlotnikov taken many utopian attempts to implement open to them the basic laws of color and formal exposure to the practical construction and design - down to the interior design of the spacecraft).,
. Most ascetic and laboratory series Zlotnikova as it did not have a direct continuation - the further he departs from the minimalist geometric, his works become more spontaneous sensual and expressive nature of
. However, this spontaneity is already present sintetizm, knowledge of "the law". From "Signal" is the experience of modeling space as a picture of a living space, whose topology is psychologically motivated. In the Crimean landscapes, . and then in a large series of "Space, . rhythm, . people "Zlotnikov rationally interprets his romantic need for a coherent semantics - concepts of space and design are metaphorical expression, . important category for the author of "freedom", . "harmony" and others are otrefleksirovannymi on concrete gesture level, and become recognizable and persistent elements of the metalanguage (the transition from analysts to the metaphor accounts for around mid-1960's - so, . that by mid-1980 again replaced by an interest in pure abstraction).,
. In 1960-70-ies Zlotnikov equally active as a graphic artist and as a painter
. He himself divides his career into three phases - phase "psychophysiology" ( "Signals"), . stage "metaphor" (until 1988) and the stage of "thinking" (referring to the linguistic construction of thought processes, . holding it in now and begins with a series of "Neokonstruktsiya),
. Now Zlotnikov continues to work on a cycle of "design and structure, seeking, in his own words, to come to a new level of synthesis between the logical beginning and the beginning of the senses; formulated his goal - to express the dynamic balance of the world. Such a "general" formulation of the problem is related to the artist in general, inherent distrust of subjectivity copyright statements: he considers his art in an objective "miroustroitelnom" meaning.
