RENAISSANCE

Under the influence of striving for the future, without looking back, we have been building digital castles and concrete vaults for half a century. But in the daily news feed the characters of ancient myths and portraits of forgotten heroes began to appear, roses of fanciful ornaments sprout and lost artifacts emerge like ghosts of the past unknown to us. As we reinvent the present, we remembered a Renascence lesson about the power to look back for truth and inspiration. In our reality, there is no separation between trends and types of art: content on the web exists in a general paradigm of thinking, equally embedding a unique element from each era into one syncretic chain. The hero of the RENASCENCE collection is a romantic image of a modern knight who lives in a hybrid assembly of their multi-exposition, multicultural reality. There is no longer one national cultural field in the eclecticism of the world compiled for oneself — there is a global one; Slavic mythology adjacent to anime massacres, news reports — with digital poetry, viral photos — with scans of medieval engravings.
