Mechanical Venus

by Izabella Pavlushko

.






            The beauty and  feminity of  the Venus gives take out "the" inspiration  to  many
      artists. "Mechanical Venus" by Izabella Pavlushko is a completely new  and  modern
      take out "solution of" expression of the Venus' essence.  The artist considers it from
      the position of constructive  mechanics.  In  contrast to artists such as  R.Velasques
      and P.Rubens, "Mechanical Venus" does not lie in front of the mirror, but constitutes
      a  single, unified  whole  with  it.  The artist  shows  composition  if  two  planes  of  
      mirror  are crossing at a angle of  95º  relative to one  another. They  symbolize  the 
      beginning  and  the  end.
........
            Current nanotechnologies aim at bringing  the man  to change  and  transforming
      him into a certain biological-mechanical model. Izabella skillfully rendered a state of
      absurdity and doom of  the object. In  the  piece  by  P.Picasso, "Acrobat on a ball",
     
the athlete's character has the same doom.
......
            In "Mechanical Venus"  the whole figure composition is held up by white, round
      spaces  over  the colored  figures. Color composition is balanced by dark blue  
and
      black figures.
      Monumental composition is confirmed by the  artist  with  application of  a complex
      texture of color  planes looking like polished crystals of rocks.









          At the same time, "Mechanical Venus" is full  of grace in spite of awkward, crude
      forms. All of this achieved by a green oval symbolizing Venus' abdomen  with a  hint
 
      of carrying  child  under her heart. The same  elements of  grace present  at  the top-
      a symbol of a hand and at the foot - symbol of a leg.
      Izabella  Pavlushko managed  to  expose  not  only  the state  of  the object, but the
      changing evolutional/mechanical world  which always  breaks and  shreds the  nature.
