Erarta Museum of Contemporary Art presents an exhibition by Denis Saunin – a cross between a 21st-century bestiary and dream theatre transforming everyday phenomena into symbols and elevating irony to the state of philosophy
The animals and vegetables painted by Denis Saunin cease to belong to the mundane and acquire the quality of symbols and archetypes, magnificent and bizarre at the same time. Within the realm of the artist’s imagination there are no hierarchies: everything is equally significant and worthy of becoming a myth. The meeting of the incongruous elements spawns new parables about the power and beauty of the imaginary.
