UNKNOWN XXI CENTURY
Anna Koval
Created in 2021
This artwork is inspired by the painting of the same name by I. Kramskoy. I wanted to capture the dramatic transition from the 20th to the 21st century. Time is changing, and with it people, fashion, art, and the understanding of aesthetics. The heroine of the picture is somewhere in the middle. There is much left of the elegant ladies of the 20th century in it. A chic hairstyle, marble skin, a suit in the latest fashion. Nevertheless, her gaze is turned in the other direction-at the present time. Everything is different here. Breakneck speed, running people, skyscrapers, a riot of colors and flowers. There was a transition: from black and white to motley, from regularity and grace to haste, from photography to a collage of many fragments.
