BA Kucher - Small still life

In the history of art, a clear distinction can often be made between figurative and abstract stylistic movements. However, when an artist's goal is to represent an object that resonates with phenomenal reality but is also charged with hidden and symbolic meaning, this boundary can become blurred. Symbolism and Expressionism are emblematic stylistic movements in their conceptual interpretation of reality, with an iconic rendering of images and a symbolic interpretation in the use of color. In the work of the artist Kucher, we can sense a desire to characterize reality with a magical, fairytale interpretation through a language that skillfully blends figurative and abstract elements.

Kucher's style is characterized by a distinctly Russian modern aesthetic. Indeed, on the one hand, we can see how the artist chooses a subject closely rooted in a concrete, popular, if not downright socialist, reality. The characters, of humble origins, move against the backdrop of a city of factories and tenements, while everything around them speaks of a simple existence, even if somewhat grotesque and caricatural. Indeed, Kucher's main characteristic lies precisely in his desire to distort reality in a magical, fairytale-like manner. For this reason, the work is executed with a marked expressionist synthesis, and the composition is constructed on a complex space, reminiscent of Cubist decompositions, based on multiple directional lines. From this perspective, Kucher follows in the footsteps of Chagall in transfiguring a popular reality into a magical, fairytale dimension. The palette, set in a vibrant red, also contributes to this goal.

Kucher has a surreal vision of the perceptible world, expressed in a language halfway between figurative and abstract. It's akin to the same approach employed by a great master like Chagall, but in our painter's case, a purely rural setting is replaced by a metropolitan urban space where Expressionist and Cubist elements blend to magically transfigure reality.
