In her work, Lyudmila Rashtanova often refers to the rapidly disappearing information medium from our lives - paper. And not as a material and medium, but as an aesthetic category. In her paintings, such urgent things as newspaper articles, postcards, letters, personal photos are often immortalized.
The artist works on a fine line between pop art, symbolism, trance-avant-garde and impressionism, while her style is recognizable, but devoid of whimsical buffoonery often characteristic of eclectic styles heavily mixed with pop art. The restrained color scheme of her paintings explodes, usually with a single color accent. The artist masterfully works with fonts and calligraphic elements, often turning to the aesthetics of Japanese engraving and calligraphy.
Lyudmila's works are filled with light sadness for the aesthetic phenomena of everyday life: daily newspapers, steamships, handwritten letters, traveling circuses, greeting cards, which she skillfully aestheticizes in her works and confronts them with the new reality of today, and sometimes tomorrow. digitalization.
Rashtanova's works are often sad jokes of a beautiful ingénue who has just reread a tome by the poststructuralist philosopher Gilles Deleuze or Roland Barthes.
