About the book >.>.> These strange “traces” of life are materialized by the human hands of the artist Evg- eny Chubarov who returns to us these magical structures of other dimensions where ideas precede their incarnation. Their key function similar to that of Dante’s eye according to Osip Mandelstam in Conver- sation about Dante is to be able to see into the future. All matter the artist’s hands touch miraculously transforms evoking sympathy and calling the viewer to action. Matter opens up to reveal its inner work- ings which are extremely simple and primordial. It is the matrix of life. The image of the spiral brings the consistency of steady movement forward in its development. Its ideal structure contains the variability of human destiny their creative potential and energy. The image of the spiral was born in the theorems of ancient Greece in the classical paradigms of Euclid and Pythagoras. It evolved through the culture of the Renaissance Baroque geometry and the forms of cubism. Like an eccentric with many degrees of freedom it never became set in any one style. Evidence of this free thinking appears in Evgeny Chubarov’s latest paintings and drawings both as a result of the culture of recent centuries and as a kind of encyclopedia of artistic thought navigating its way through the ‘yes and no duality of our world.
