The Second Catalogue of Erarta
“Classical Themes in the Collection” is the second catalogue from the series featuring Erarta’s museum collection. This is the first catalogue of Erarta based on a particular topic in contemporary art.
The selection of artwork we published in the catalogue covers painting, graphics, sculpture, and objects by artists working in various styles and techniques. All the works have one thing in common - they are all interpretations of Biblical and mythological subjects and characters. The perspective a contemporary artist takes while working on them is often unusual and even shocking for the viewer. Nevertheless, the interest in classical motives today allow artists to raise important aesthetic and philosophical issues as well as demonstrate the connection between contemporary art and the culture of the preceding epochs.
Why are artists of our time still interested in Biblical and mythological motives? What meanings acquire these traditional European themes in new interpretations? What is their message today? The answers to these questions are to be found in this album.
A significant part of the second issue of the catalogue displays artwork of various artists where every picture is accompanied by a short text. These descriptions were written by art experts, journalists, and writers who share their personal experiences and impressions of the works of contemporary art and offer one of the possible ways to read them.
Besides, the catalogue contains an introductory article on the main topic which reviews the presented artwork as well as articles describing the selections of paintings by Ivan Sakhnenko and Pyotr Gorban, and a section featuring sculpture and objects.
