New series by Taisia Korotkova devoted to the first book of Ovid's "Metamorphoses", narrating about the creation of the world are shown at Schloss Pornbach in Germany in the frames of group exhibition.
Taisia has created several paintings in the ancient icon painting technique she is working with. Two landscapes, of Earth and Mars, are tempera paintings on wooden panels. The artist makes all preparations herself, including making gesso on classical prescription, preparing colours from pigment, egg yolk and white wine, and then covering the finished work by boiled linseed oil and varnish.
Alongside with tempera on gesso paintings, Taisia Korotkova has created objects, reflecting different chapters of Ovid's book.

NK Gallery presents 'SPACE MUSEUM SERIES' by Taisia Korotkova (°1980, Russian artist, lives in Milan, IT), solo project, specially created for the art fair.
Taisia Korotkova (°1980, Russian artist, lives in Milan, IT° works in hyperrealist style using egg tempera on gesso, the unique icon painting technique. This very old method, which demands considerable technical knowledge and skilled craftsmanship, creates a strong contrast to her paintings' subjects: new technology and science. Highly appreciated by Russian and European art professionals, she was awarded Kandinsky prize and participated in 3rd and 4th Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art. Works by Taisia Korotkova are shown in Russian and European museums and included in public collections, among others in Moscow Museum of Contemporary Art.
SPACE MUSEUM SERIES is devoted to the well-known MIR Space Station and tells about the second life of scientific and technological items. Created for conquering the open space, they are now stored as museum artefacts in special surroundings. It is this strange, but clearly perceptible life that the artist tries to capture in her paintings.
