 Headscapes by Lucia O'Connor-McCarthy

 Theatre of the Imaginary" by Tatiana Antonuk
3rd October 2008
Gentleness, sensuality and surrealism could define Tatiana Antonuk's portraits and self-portraits. A citizen of Krasnoyarsk (Russia, Siberia) and an English teacher, she started photography taking her inspiration from René Magritte and Jan Saudek but her current works are accomplished with the pictoral effects of photography from another century. These effects denote the marking out of her own artistic route within the hectic landscape of Russian contemporary photography. This itself is the heir of a long creative tradition but now shaking up by the discovery of the meanderings of contemporary commercial photography. "Since the day I realized that my life was empty without art I have been expressing myself through photography". Pixel and Grain Gallery, Loughborough Town Hall until November 14th, 2008 |
