The World of Icons
The World of Icons showcases works by artists from Europe, the USA, Australia and Ukraine whose careers are closely associated with nonobjective art and its contemporary trends, including reductive art and post-formalism. Their visual vocabulary has a broad range of expressive means.
The World of Icons concludes the international project Icons, organizes by KNO | Kyiv Non Objective art union and hosted throughout 2018 by the exhibition space of the Mikhail Bulgakov Museum. The project was conceived and realized as a series of experimental exhibitions uniting artists from various countries, with the museum space becoming a laboratory for their art practices.
The notion of an image in art was the project鈥檚 recurring theme. Under the aegis of Icons, artists probed the question of whether an image can exist in nonobjective art, given that it only manifests itself in its pre-verbal stage in these works. Can nonobjective art become a form of aesthetic appropriation of the world and feelings, or function as a form of reflection in the world of abstract categories?
