Andrejs Nadeždinskis "Golden Spider Web"
From 01.02. in Grata JJ cultural center in the second floor of art gallery MuseumLV the exhibition of Andrejs Nadeždinskis “Golden Spider Web” can be seen.
Andrejs Nadeždinskis’ works combine the art of jewellery, sculpture and graphics. The material of artworks is worth of admiration - spider webs and gold.
Ten years ago, the spider webs arouse artistic interest for Andrejs Nadeždinskis. Science still fails to explain how and why the spider builds the web. Each web is unique, its design depends on the weather, the season, the age of the spider and the mood. If we compare the proportion of dew drop mass to the thickness of the spider web, the network would be able to stop the plane on another scale.
For several years, Nadeždinskis went on expeditions in Latvian nature, explored spider webs, revealing the way how they can be moved and conserved, preserving the natural drawing of the web. This process is very complicated and expensive.
Finally, spider webs are gilded, and the artist creates decorative compositions from them, becoming a co-author of the natural phenomenon. Gold helps to highlight the graphics of spider’s web in natural light.
Andrejs Nadeždinskis’ compositions are unique - the applied technology is original, discovered by him. The golden spider web in Nadeždinskis’ performance could become an extraordinary and valuable gift to a human who sees the world without prejudice.
