Margarita Godgelf

I often delve into mass culture imagery through the lens of classical art. In this work, I present a modern version of the biblical scene - Pilate's conversation with Christ, with Christ depicted as a smartphone on a selfie stick.
Region: Coventry

Through the embodiment of my own hypostases in all of my characters, I find a point of access in my personal experience to universal problematic that pierces through everyone’s soul.
The lack of any external identification gives the viewer a chance to try on their own face on the character’s one and, becoming a full-fledged participant of the plot, walk the path to themselves alongside me.
“Margarita creates a parallel universe where her work is a portal that exists only for the viewer, it is an unobtrusive offer that cannot be refused. For all the “otherness” of her cosmos, it is easy for the viewer to establish a connection with it, the visual codes that the artist uses are able to fit into the DNA of any cultural environment.”
