Victor Yaichnikov's new project is called "33". They are really thirty three human faces united by terrestrial lifetime and an image of Christ. The allusion is obvious: an epistyle of templon, an iconostasis, a medieval polyptich.

And almost at once, by contrast, there is a doubt: whether similar uniqueness of interpretation is rightful? The infinite variety of images of human cosmos overturns any even most settled and time-honoured scheme.

Here they are: family members, the hardly familiar and casually seen friends, the bible characters and our contemporaries, children, old men, the baby at mother's breast, the enamored and simply kissing people.

The picturesque technique (acryl, oil) aggravates feelings of the borderline intonations in its genre sense: not portfolio, but not cabinet grotesque. Searching of unified hierarchy of values in this case is hardly probable appropriate.

By the way, here are the artist says: "I'd like to break off the distance between people. In fact we do not maintain eye contact!" It's not just the matter of author's reflection. The faces, as well as destinies are connected unpredictably, linked to each other. Isn't it the proof of embodiment of the divine plan in any Brown movement, especially, in the elementary sequence of objects? The communication of the plan and the stunning result shown to us is undisputable.
