This is what Maria Safronova sets out to do in her recent series of paintings, accompanied by three-dimensional props. The \u0026lsquo;freedom\u0026rsquo; to adapt to norms and routines is a recurrent theme, as is the complacency and even enthusiasm that such socialisation may inspire in the individual. Safronova\u0026rsquo;s images are hybrids, borrowing features from Russian life today, with its neo-Soviet, neo-imperial tendencies, and from fifteenth and sixteenth century painting in the Low Countries and Italy. Safronova contrasts stylised empty backgrounds with patterned surfaces that enhance the central perspective. Both devices create stages, which she populates with compositions of human figures, based on studies from live models and photographs.

Dit is wat Maria Safronova beoogt te doen in haar recente reeks schilderijen, die worden vergezeld van driedimensionale rekwisieten. De \u0026lsquo;vrijheid\u0026rsquo; om normen en routines aan te passen is een terugkerend thema, evenals de gevoelens van zelfgenoegzaamheid en zelfs enthousiasme die dergelijke processen van socialisatie in het individu kunnen losmaken. De beelden van Safronova zijn hybriden die elementen ontlenen aan het Russische leven van vandaag, met zijn neo-Sovjet, neo-imperialistische eisen die nog steeds een stempel drukken op de collectieve en individuele psych\u0026eacute;, en aan de vijftiende- en zestiende-eeuwse schilderkunst uit de Lage Landen en Itali\u0026euml;. In de schilderijen (olieverf op doek, op relatief kleine formaten), contrasteert Safronova gestileerde lege achtergronden met patronen gevulde oppervlakken die het centrale perspectief benadrukken. Beide cre\u0026euml;ren ruimtes die ze vult met allegorische composities van menselijke figuren, gebaseerd op studies van levende modellen (en voor dat doeleinde gemaakte foto\u0026#39;s).
