Exhibitions, Germany, Berlin, 03 February 2017
The Direktorenhaus - Museum for Art Crafts Design presents the 1st Solo Exhibition of Katerina Belkina in Berlin.
Friday 3 February 2017 - Sunday 26 February 2017
Katerina Belkina propels the characteristics of the Neo-Renaissance into the centre of topical issues.
Katerina Belkina was growing up in an artistic household, for her mother was an artist. From 1989 Belkina studied at the art college and the Petrow-Wodkin-academy of arts in Samara. At the middle of the year 2000 Belkina then became internationally known, when the Italian magazine Il Fotografo presented her works in context with the series “Great Photographers”. In 2007 Katerina Belkina was nominated for the Russian Kandinsky-Prize. In 2009/2010 she took part at the first biennales of Photography organized by the Russian Museum at the Marble Palace in St. Petersburg. In 2011 in context with the fourth Moscow biennales for contemporary art Tatiana Kurtanova realized a curated exhibition for Katerina Belkina. In 2015 she received the international Lucas-Cranach-Prize for her work “Die Sünderin”.
With the series Revival Katerina Belkina reinterprets the historical style of the neo-renaissance and formulates contemporary problems in context with art and psychology. In the last years her work is mainly influenced by staged self-portraits. In her award-winning work “Die Sünderin” she stages herself as a pregnant woman. In the background one can see Jesus Christ and the adulteress by Lucas Cranach the younger one. Belkina imitates the clothing of the adulteress and takes up her space by putting herself in front of her. That is how the women gets released from the mess and becomes the protagonist of the painting. With the series “Paint” Belkina combines artistic and photographic elements and imitates paintings of famous painters.
