Irina Razumovskaya is a ceramic artist and painter. Her relationship with art was formed in her early childhood: from the age of five, she followed art and history classes at the Hermitage Museum in her hometown St. Petersburg. Another strong influence came from studying ancient languages and archaeology. This led to a love for ceramic objects of bygone eras, the classical architecture and culture. Irina tries to see herself as a maker with similar sensibilities to those of craftsmen and artists of bygone eras.
Irina has situated herself on the opinion that there are a number of forms and symbols which have made their home somewhere in the human subcortex. These images touch a viewer’s unconscious strings. That’s why she tends to present the viewer not with visually bright imagery or new unseen forms, but with what she sees as quasi-prehistoric and stable symbols clustered in laconic shapes, which sit in the back of every person’s mind. Those symbolically minimal images create a subtler relationship between the viewer and the artwork, intuitional and true.
In her practice, Irina evades tacking any direct narrative, she animates minimalist constructivist architectural forms and classical shapes in her work, seeking to avoid narrow or exact images or symbols.
