Solo exhibition entitled “Lost Memories”, on view from 23 January until 8 March 2025, brings together two series of paintings created by Alexander Morozov (b. 1974 in Lougansk, UA) and united by the theme of the phenomenon of human memories and its interconnection with the flow of time. In its content and its focus, Alexander Morozov’s artistic practice is similar to memory studies. The artist is interested in memory as a tool and an activity that simultaneously records the past and transfers its imprint to the present. By exploring the boundaries between the intangible image and the form, the text and the image, the dark areas of memory and consciousness, he creates paradoxical personal spaces, emphasizing the areas of social and psychological rupture. Among Alexander Morozov’s prominent projects are The Black Book and Icons series. In the first the artist turns to the theme of the gaps in the cultural memory, recreating artifacts destroyed during the military conflicts. The second is focused on depicting everyday subjects in the egg tempera technique, characteristic of European art in the 15th–17th centuries. Collectively, the works in both series presented in the exhibit constitute a visual and poetic statement on the lost past and its ubiquity in the present.
