Stufen zur Kunst Kateryna Lysovenko - Angel Folding the Sky
In the organizer's words:
Ukrainian artist Kateryna Lysovenko (born 1989, Odessa) has designed the twelfth edition of the exhibition project Stairs to Art at Künstlerhaus Hannover. Inspired by Monique Wittig's Virgile, non (1985) and Byzantine frescoes, a wall painting developed on site stretches across the levels of the staircase in the east wing.
In the artist's figurative works, we often encounter ghostly creatures, animals and hybrid figures that seem to spring from mythology and dreams and thematize the very earthly longing for peace and security.
Lysovenko uses the architectural specifics of the staircase to create a place for figures that inflate and shrink, are exposed to internal and external forces and undergo metamorphoses.
The composition is based on a Ukrainian motif from the 12th century in the church of St. Cyril and focuses on transformations between heaven, earth and the circles of hell, on the fragility of carnal and social structures and the existential hope of change.
