Israel Broytman — In his own words.My works explore time not as a physical element
, but as an aesthetic parameter. They depict the sublime motion of human nature.
Physical objects are complexes of sensations. An individual object in painting is an essence. A particular subject matter represents the ultimate reality
, where objects are in quantitative relationships with their backgrounds. Where they exist.
Old objects are living memories
, meaningful definitions of time and reality
, and existence can be understood consciously through a vanished past. Immanuel Kant’s concept of a "thing in itself” is a psycho-physical or metaphysical reality of an object.
Our inner world is a metaphysical reality. What kinds of symbols are used for metaphysical reality? What kind of code is there in my paintings? Basically
, two types — the so-called exteriors and interiors.
Exteriors are nights
, still lives
, faces — interiors for the outer world
, the world beyond us. Interiors are staircases
, doors
, windows
, balconies
, chairs.
Musicians tune their instruments before a concert. Painting can tune a human soul
, it can be a sort of psychic therapy. It’s important that the spectator become purified and renewed in front of a painting
, become reborn.
