Katerina Gorokhova's Page

"...Depending on the chosen plot, the artist creates from various fragments a unique product.
Features of techniques are harmoniously combined with a nonlinearity of interpretation of the message that is send to the spectator. Katerina Gorokhova’s works are complex for ‘reading’ at first sight. At a primary acquaintance they are perceived more likely as a complex pattern, with a decorative effect on the surface, color stains and contours of figures which create freakish forms. By more intent consideration, details, their internal connections, mutual relations of subjects appear, and when the adapted sight gets used to a new kind of already familiar patterns one can discover a new embodiment, a conglomerate of complex metaphors and allegories: even laconic works with a minimum amount of details are filled with a complex ciphered implication.
It would be incorrect to create unequivocal treatments of Ekaterina’s works, after all, the artist develops such eternal themes as love, good and evil, the man and the woman; everyone can find in them something individually personal".
