NUMBERS
AS ART

Art project by Ilia Buslakov
NUMBERS
AS ART
They draw women, faces, hands, trees, flowers, fruits and even carpets. Paint artists, poets and musicians. And how many colors of the rainbow are there? How many letters, notes? How old are you? What is your height? How many times have you loved?
Numbers...
They are everywhere.
There are more of them than grains of sand in the desert, than stars, atoms, molecules, and all this combined

Three different silvers. The numbers are one after the other. The first is 4. I often say that the number should be read unambiguously, but sometimes there are defects — and here it is. I realized this when the work was already done. Try to find.

In the photo Ilya Oshi @ilya_o_she. Mega cool and very versatile guy, able to sit on the air.

The numbers are written in black. Number 4 is just above the center. Number 2 wraps around number 4. Number 3 wraps around numbers 4 and 2.

It is read by red crosses. There is no prehistory here, but you can guess and say that this is a common cemetery from the time of the civil war in Russia a century ago.

This is not Malevich's Black Square. "Ч" (Russian letter) — number 4. Square — number 0. "M" - number 3, rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.

Nothing special. Could it be an earthworm cut in half by a child? The left figure consists of two intersecting numbers 4, the right figure is the number 8.

& NUMBERS

I do not think so.
Every number is unique and in this project it will be different from what you are used to.
What is the place of numbers in art? They are on the pages of books, sometimes in the title of musical works, in the size of paintings, in the inventory number of a museum exhibit. But are they boring? Do they have a soul?
