Marina Fedorova

Selected museum and foundation collections:

The State Russian Museum. St. Petersburg. Russia
D137 Foundation. St. Petersburg. Russia
"Shoes Or No Shoes" museum, Belgium

In his time Meyerhold confessed that in his theatre he missed the subtle crackling of the the cinematograph. The delight of the newest form of entertainment, the noise that created sense of Time. Marina Fedorova's paintings are enveloped in this sound. She was able to bring the sense of movement into the art that is strictly spatial. The painter's works plunge the viewers into the atmosphere of French Cinemateque of Henri Langlois: the rattle of a motion-picture apparatus counting moments, black and white films, the first row is occupied by the “masonic lodge of cinephiles” - nuzzling into the screen trying to absorb the images while they still have their primordial freshness.

Freshness is what singles out painting of Marina Fedorova. The “frames” change constantly, there is no place for unnecessary details in the never-ending stream of life. Instead there is the charming simplicity, the elegance of a sketch, the image emerges from the first impressions: refined and stylish like a small black dress by Chanel. It needs no ornaments, just shape and style.
The colours are thick: black, white and red, shaped by the expressive lines. Whether it is watercolors or acrylics, watered paint become shade and reflection. Each stroke takes its own place, shaping multi-dimentional images, stories and entire lives. There's rich red flowing through the shadows: is it wine or blood? Red is an elemental force, it expresses a variety of emotions: hate and love, pain and tenderness. These stories are intriguing, melodramatic and touching in a very feminine way. The gazes, loaded with meaning, peering into the space outside the canvas, into the reality beyond the frame. The eyes of the characters are often concealed, keeping us from understanding their motivations and their disposition, making them unknowable. We are left with the “casts” of their lives, short moments that were “caught” by the artist. We realize that what we have seen is just an instant taken from an out-of-reach unbelievable story of love, despair, sin and lies – all the passions of man. It isn't just the artistic
manner of Marina Fedorova that is “quick”, but the very subjects she portrays. Her art is more cinematographic than photographic. There is much on her paintings that comes with the movement, as if by accident. And in the same “accidental” way numerous references, homages and quotes find their way into the “les plis” of her artistic reality.

This art is passionate and desperately dramatic; it exists on the edge of sincerity and pretence. The characters' expression, their seemingly intimate trepidations easily convert into the artificial glamour of the fashion ads and supernatural effects of the blockbuster movies. However
alongside cover models, Marina Fedorova captures very personal and sentimental subjects.

There's much of theatrical gestures. Everything is inspired with the cinematic mannerism or the preciosity of Renata Litvinova. The simmering passions of the French New Wave almost call for the offscreen voice of  the Godard and Truffaut films, yet there are only short captions. Much of Marina's art is very french: The Toulouse-Lautrec red, cinematic quotes, expressive phrases, rolled eyes. The subjects are mostly female: wrecks, dreaming with the glass of wine, crossing legs thoughtfully, femme fatales in red. This world is for the ladies, and mostly the leading ones.

Anna Chuzhkova

Marina’s life scene in he art seem irrationally turned to traditional way of life, as it  looks almost perfect, like a glossy magazine covers…In  Fedorova’s graphics, as in black and white Gadar movies,  the plot drown  with restraint and eloquent…In Marina’s sequence we can find quotations from French wave, Hitchcock, Patrice Leconte, WONG KAR WAI, Takeshi Kitano. She draw as hurriedly retell the plots of favorite films, dealing all in he own way.

Olga Horoshilova “Time out”

Having the nature sense of composition allowing Marina Fedorova to facilitate the plane, and to hide details from the plane, for the general ideas. The fragmentariness of narration , the shortness of staging, this dynamic free the hand of the author and the eye of the viewer…

Anton Uspensky

In the graphic handwriting, the dynamics of shape reflect plastic of body, speed of the view, and the power of the artist’s touch. Marina Fedorova do her work easy and confident.
