Reviews of art experts and art critics about the work of Maria Safronova

edit

Sergey Khachaturov, an art critic, art expert, curator:

Questions at the abyss on the edge make us treat the drama of human life more wisely, its inevitable lack of freedom in the game according to the rules of society. Fortunately, Maria Safronova understands this global existential scale, alien to opportunistic socio-political ideological bias. She sees itlike a true artist. I like the quality of the workmanship, the man-made works that have nothing in common with the blurred images translated from the photos.[59]

Alexander Borovsky, an art critic, curator. From the catalog «New Russian Storytellers in Russian Art of the XX-XXI centuries»:

Among modern young painters, Maria Safronova stands out for the concentrated seriousness of her large-scale themes. A run of works «Daily Routine» (2012-2013) documents scenes from the life of a psychiatric hospital, resembling the notes of a research scientist, which is enhanced by a layout strictly corresponding to the topology of the paintings. The fixation of the daily cycle of people subject to uniform rules and unified behavior gradually raises the most important questions of collective human behavior (the run «The Game of a general kind», 2013). Since the time of Jeremiah Bentham's «Panopticon» (an architectural project of a correctional institution with an all-seeing, all-observing prison tower), the theme of controlled space has been painfully interested in art. During the underground period, Ilya Kabakov, Leonid Lamm, Sergey Yesayan addressed her, of course, in the context of the Soviet collective experience. Maria Safronova cuts off the Soviet as an unnecessary, distracting story. In the «Daily Routine», a lack of freedom is a given without ideological connotations. People here are «just» sick, «just» committed crimes. They eat, walk, get treated, sleep — under control. The control scans the spaces, probes the bodies, and regulates the poses. There is also a model of this penitentiary institution here — a kind of greeting to the Panopticon. Everything is expected here, even an explosion of aggression — a cruel senseless fight. This is a big story about how control brings the social to a complete fusion with the anthropologicalone. Are individual narratives possible here? Can the plot, itself being an installation of control, break away from this function and let loose a couple of personal human stories? So, to break the «daily routine»?[60]

Olga Kabanova, an art critic, journalist:

Safronova is a charmer; she knows how to pack a tough message in the gentlest way. Her painting (oil, canvas) with all the apparent artlessness — no depths andclare-obscure — it is sharp in drawing, and the colors are so radiant that even scenes in a psychiatric hospital make an exceptionally pleasant impression.[61]

Alexandra Danilova, an art critic, curator and senior researcher at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts about the project «What If?» (2017-2020):

There is something in Maria Safronova's painting that makes her related to the German «new materiality»: the same fixednessand gaze impartiality that easily turn a living person into an object. The heroes of her paintings are just objects, signs of an incomprehensible undeclared threat, which constantly hints at its presence to us. Painting breathes aggressive peace; the silence prevailing in the paintings is alarming and frightening. The ultimate objectivity of the view has now been elevated to the rank of a compositional technique. The simplicity of forms and the lack of dynamics create a special psychological effect, in which the pathos of «frozen time» triumphs. The main character of Maria Safronova's project becomes Kierkegaard's angst — metaphysical fear, a vague sense of threat. It is no longer connected with any specific events, but has turned into a «what if...» spread in the air, becoming an essential feature of the psyche of a person who is in a constant state of anxiety.[62]
