Painted closet work Alexandra Brovina  - magnificent, skillful stylization in the spirit of the Renaissance. And at the same time, it is a model of postmodernism. Why? - you ask. The architectural landscape, with great subtlety drawn on the panels of the cabinet, reproduces the real buildings of Venice and Florence of the golden pore. The artist with particular urgency feels the non-randomness, the rootedness of the beauty of Renaissance art, sometimes achieved with the help of mathematical calculations and a surgical scalpel. That is why he does not want to invent anything. The painting on the furniture is covered with craquelure, but they serve other purposes than the modern artificial aging. Alexander is not trying to create the illusion of antiques. For him, it is much more important to touch the departed world of beauty. And for the sake of it all: exact copying, painstaking subtlety of details.
