"Grandma's Porcelain"

About this artwork

"Grandma's Porcelain", oil on canvas, 40 × 50, 2020 The tea set, which served as a model for writing this work, was presented to me by my grandmother .. Before that, it had been gathering dust in her closet for many years, and when I looked inside the kettle, I saw a handful of dried flies and dust there .After washing he found a pleasant shine and went back to the closet, only this time in mine ..Thus, the transfer of heritage took place ..). It will stand in my closet for many more years, like my grandmother's, and then I will pass it on ... In general, the story is quite trivial .. and there are probably more than a dozen such sets in the post-Soviet space ... But the point is different. Time passes, the era changes, history is written .. But some things do not have the ability to change, they only accept someone's memories, become random evidence of culture or aesthetics .. And the more time passes, the brighter these features appear, and the simplest thing becomes interesting, picturesque, even mysterious, excites the imagination.. An interesting metamarphosis..
