1 Ekatherina S. Inspiration

2 Ekatherina S. (f.1965) Ekatherina S. er et meget spesielt menneske. Hun er tysk statsborger, født i Russland, arbeider i New York og stiller ut sin kunst på museer og gallerier over hele verden. Galleri Pingvin har vært hennes galleri for Norden siden Ekatherina er en slags moderne hippie, som mener at vi må fokusere på kjærlighet og fellesskap ikke hat og ulikheter. Alle har Kjærligheten inne i seg. Finn den og hold på den. Ekatherina S bakgrunn og utdannelse er unik. Hun er født og oppvokst i St.Petersburg (Leningrad). Har danset og tegnet siden hun var liten.10 år gammel fikk hun plass ved Barnekunstskolen, en elite-skole for kunstbegavelser. Et slags 6-årig kunstgymnas. Hun fikk diplom på at hun var beste elev. Underveis oppdaget man at hun var matematisk meget talentert. Ved Universitetet i St.Petersburg studerte hun matematikk, fysikk og computer science parallelt. Beste student på alle 3 fronter. Videre har Ekatherina 2 år ved St.Petersburg Kunstakademi (var en av de 7 Glasnost-kunstnerne), samt 4 år ved Düsseldorf Kunstakademi (var Master student under sjefen selv, prof. A.R.Pench). Ekatherina er Leningradmester i sjakk fra 1990 og russisk mester i 13 årsklassen i tennis. Ekatherina S. nyder en enorm respekt og anerkjennelse blant kunsthistorikere noe foreløpig 25 soloutstillinger på museer rundt om i verden bekrefter. Dr. Alexander Barowski og prof. Joseph Kiblitsky fra Russland, prof. Donald Kuspit, Milton Estrow og Abraham Lubelski fra USA hører blant de viktigste personer i dagens kulturelle verden. De er alle begeisert for hennes kunst. Det er vanskelig å komprimere relevant informasjon om Ekatherina. Er du interessert kom innom for en prat eller ta en titt i vårt enorme arkiv. Vi har bl.a. et eksemplar av Highlights of Russian Art through 200 years hvor hun er representert. Ekatherina er levende opptatt av religioner, mytologier, matematikk og fysikk. Hun ønsker å konstruere den ligningen Einstein ikke fikk til (den med 10 dimensjoner) og hun vil bevise at Stephen Hawkins tar feil når han påstår at Kvante-teori, Relativitets-teori og Gud ikke lar seg forene. Vi i Galleri Pingvin er mest opptatt av kunsten hennes. 1

3 Inspirasjon Ekatherina S. har kalt denne utstillingen Inspirasjon. Inspirasjon er noe positivt, noe vi aldri kan få nok av. Enkelte ganger er inspirasjon enda viktigere enn ellers. Vi i Galleri Pingvin er i en slik situasjon nå. Ødeleggelsene i forbindelse med bombeattentatet den 22. juli var enorme og galleriet har helt siden da vært en stor byggeplass, ut- og innvendig, med murere, snekkere og malere. Den 3 etasjers bygningen fra 1874 ble mildest talt rystet i sine grunnvolder. Vi var akkurat ferdig med den obligatoriske oppussingen vi hvert år gjennomfører i forbindelse med avviklingen av sommerferien, da bomben smalt. I steden for å arrangere utstillinger og seminarer har vi altså måttet holde stengt frem til idag. Denne utstillingen er således ikke bare årets Ekatherina S. utsilling i Skandinavia, men markerer også gjenåpningen av Galleri Pingvin. Vi har forhandlet kunst av ypperste klasse siden Med våre 3 etasjer og mange norske og utenlandske kunstnere på museums-nivå har vi hatt et stort publikum. Nå kan vi endelig ønske dere alle velkommen tilbake. Ekatherina har levert 18 malerier (akryl på lerret) til Inspirasjons-utstillingen, og inspirerende er de. Fulle av symbolikk og energi. Som vanlig har vi bedt Ekatherina forklare oppbygningen av arbeidene (på oppfordring fra mange kunstkunder). Ekatherina S. fikk for kort tid siden beskjed fra prof. Joseph Kiblitzky, som er sjefskurator ved russisk nasjonalgalleri, at hun er velkommen til å være med i utvekslingsutstillingen mellom Italias og Russlands nasjonalgallerier i Her vil begge parter presentere det beste innen billedkunst fra sitt land. Ekatherina er altså med. Gratulerer. Jeg vil til slutt rette en stor takk til forsikringsselskapet IF. Service og oppfølging har vært enestående. Sjefspingvinen 2

4 Inspiration I was inspired to make this exhibition during my travel in Egypt March- April this year. It was an amazing and beautiful time of healing and understanding of the big picture and the depth of ancient Egyptian, Greek and Indian wisdom and spiritual teaching of Kabbalah. Although it was a dangerous period - with Egyptian revolution - I experienced only miracles and wonders. These impressions I want to share with you and I would like to inspire you to connect with the divine realm of your soul, which will give you protection, healing and love, unity and peace. Ekatherina S. 3

5 4 Abundance of Life In Old Egypt, the Goddess Hathor was responsible for prosperity, love and joy of life. All good things are already existing in the Universe. Crocodile-God Sabek represents the wish to receive it. Only desire lets the blessing come into life. The bird symbolizes the soul and the desire to receive for the sake of sharing. Red is material energy, yellow is light and wisdom. The blue spirals symbolize the spiritual process.

23 22 Inspiration, Red The constant competition of two consciousnesses is always in our mind. They are both divine spiritual forces like the angels.

Red is the physical, blue is the spiritual, yellow is the color of wisdom.
