Doronkina"Art-project Bell'Art: More than visual art"

Perception is our first idea - Plato

"While living we shall learn the art of living Seneca

"Bell'Art: more than visual" new project of  GeraGallery, that took place on Moscow Contemporary Art Fair ARTs-2003 supported by Ministry of Culture, by Art Experts Association, The Visual Arts and crafts Fund, Charitable foundation VEGA, 28.09.2003 in the Sokolniki Exhibition Center.

The labyrinth of exposition, according the author conception, reminds the brain structure. There is emotional sphere, expressed in colours and lines, and the world of logic in images of the reflected reality. The both parts create the common space that has in the center the black tunnel fulfilled by images of hidden meaning.

The two series of artwork demonstrate different perceptions of reality and possibilities of its interpretations. Every issue bears the imprint of keen artistic perception and deep insight of the outer world or inner life and requires the undivided attention to explore that it has to show.

 The contemplation shows majestic, picturesque sceneries and forms drawing our imagination towards beauty and peace in mind within positive emotions it makes, the abstract works talks individually and it differs from that what the other may see because the paintings draws the personal hidden emotions, thoughts and ideas out of subconscious in the stream of apparitions and vivid imagery. The hustle shall be slowed down to let you light upon the secrets to let your vision to extend beyond the border of the frame or bigotry, fixed belief, preconception, of time and space and being free of to broaden your horizons. The sensation of freedom is important issue of Geras work. As accompaniment, the essay Substance of Freedom was presented during the project . " A Man Freedom is of great importance, but mostly in strictly structured society,  when everybody senses the load of the regulations and the conventionalities.  This had brought me to this subject, she writes in the foreword of this essay...For Elen a word, a sound, a line, a colour are instruments for generating ideas and images, and her essay "Substance of Freedom" presented here on ARTs  and during "Bell'Art" in 2001"  as Elen Gera says "is the result of the research, recorded in images, which are made not from colours and forms, but  captured in letters and sound.  The sound-writing fires the reader's imagination, involving conscious and subconscious, creates associative mapping of new reality, which shows the treasures and secrets of objective existence. We understand the sound-writing as one more powerful instrument of creating the images by using the rhythm and sound in sayings/writings along the sense of words and expression. I explored this essay making the report from the "Bell'ART" project in 2001. It changed my life."
