Andrey Kartashov, Butterflies of Memory, 2023, Giclée Print on Canvas

About This Piece

with his thoughtful eyes staring into the distance the movie character in «Butterflies of Memories» seems to be petrified. The twilight of space turns into silvery fabric of memories. Echoes of the past and the future have intricately intertwined and merged at the point of the absolute «Here and Now». There is a solitary figure at the bar table: “Techno”, who is gazing with fascination into the light of the lamp, awaiting for his fate. It is the profile of the hero embodying incredible images which have been imprinted in the memory of generations for good. What pictures are arising in his mind? However, there is neither the past nor the future any longer. The destruction machine from the future and the drawing boy from the past have met. In the disturbing gloom of the bar a spark of hope is pulsating. The eyes of the hero are full of wisdom gained through the experience of the past years and great achievements, he is asking the ecclesiasto-Warholian question: «So, what?” The gazes of the woman awaiting for her fate, of the terminator and the drawing boy. The final step in the spiritual battle will be taken not in the future, but now. Today in the night. The linearity of time has disappeared. Only the dim light of the lamp remains… . And butterflies of memories are circling around… Andrey Kartashov graduated from the A.
