“My reality is just different from yours,” announces the Cheshire cat to Alice inside the slant and circular ambience of their forest. Margarita Krivitsky’s ‘Alice in Venice’ opens the viewer’s gaze – their very being – to a new reality. A reality that shifts and glides, not just across time, but the geographical markers of this planet. Alice left #EdwardianBritain to follow her imagination into new realms, meeting creatures from deep in her psyche along the way.
#MargaritaKrivitsky uses Alice as a vehicle for her own journey into the collective human psyche via Venice, allowing viewers to follow suit and have their own exploratory experience. In this collection, Alice has fallen down a rabbit hole, but not as we know it. The symbolic and metaphysical tunnel created by Lewis Carroll is retrofitted with new ideas, dark and sparkly new detail: where once there were meadows and riverboats, now are Renaissance facades and grottoes, turrets and gondolas. And the odd cassowary. The exhibition will be opened by David McAllister D.M.D Artistic Director of the The Australian Ballet at Yarra Sculpture Gallery, 117 Vere Street Abbotsford from 4pm to 6pm, Sunday August 19 2018.
Just to add to this: Margarita was my kids art teacher for 10 years ,she opened up their amazing creative abilities in fine arts: visual, sculpture and much much more, they learnt unique techniques of craft and discovered so much about themselves during Rita's art classes. Impossible not to open up at her classes which are now full and have a waiting list of kids and adults to get in !
