Olga Shtukaturova

...If in technique aspect Shtukaturova is brightly modern artist, than according to chosen themes she is from the past time. The series dedicated to the XVIII century. Ladies in hoop skirts with high hairstyles, admirers, regularity of garden plantings, light blue air vibration… Even not air, but time that is real and theatrical simultaneously. And as a symbol of time - clock appears. They are in the center and refined presentation with persons and puppets is happening around. XVIII century theatre of O. Shtukaturova is melancholic and slightly sad, exquisite and strict, there is keen aura of associations in it...
