We are grateful for an e-mail, recently received from Olga Korzh,
curator of a photography exhibition which is currently running at the
Brunel Engine House, based in Rotherhithe. Here is an extract of what
the release says, beginning, ‘‘The exhibition should be a delight and a
tribute to the architects, who made objects for our contemplation, which
are equal to Nature - not just a bridge but a symbol, not just a tower
but a power of a city, a power of time. They left a biggest gift for
everybody: the music of architecture, the poetry of geometry.’ It
continues by taking a look at the photographer herself, ‘Elena is a
London based Russian painter and photographer, born in Moscow. Graphic
designer and illustrator by profession, educated at Moscow Academy of
Publishing (1992-1997, MA in Fine Art Honour with distinction,
A.A.Livanov studio) and Moscow Academy of Photography (2000, Pavel
Smirnov's studio). Elena's artwork is poetical and tends toward the
telling of stories. Whereas her photographs are mirrors of life's
moments tending toward classical sensation, with strong graphical
compositions guided by her designer's eyes.
The photographs are less impressionistic and more contemplative than her
paintings. Her brushes tell stories, the silver through her lens creates
the trance.’ And about the exhibition, ‘For this exhibition we have
chosen black and white pictures full of contemplation and meditation,
inspired by tectonic objects, showing a lyrical nature of her
photographs, evoking a grateful sense of quiet and seclusion, hence the
exhibitions title “Arhi-lyric: the Poetry of Architecture”.’ Sounds
interesting! Go along and have a look, both at the photographs and at
that Thames Tunnel!
