Artist-Ivan-Alifan's-Paintings
Artist Ivan Alifan ( Художник Иван Алифан ) is a talented contemporary Russian Painter, he was born in 1989 in St. Petersburg and obtained an art education there before moving to Canadian Ontario in his latter years by chance. Perhaps indefinitely. But the Russian aspect of his personality was established and firmly rooted, and it is now spilling out onto a fruitful area - his job.
Ivan Alifan is an example of this. This artist regards art as his biggest love in life since it permits a creative individual to achieve the impossible. Which, no matter how metaphorical it may sound, transforms the produced into its own universe of possibilities. Ivan signs each of his pieces in a unique way.
In his latest Serie of Paintings ( «It's not Milk» ) , Ivan Alifan is totally immersed with ambiguity and the uncertainty of possible interpretation. The audience is mesmerised and disarmed by this creative portrayal of the charm and passion behind the sexual meaning of the images. Each painting shows and raises to the surface the uneasy sense of guilt that arises from viewing something illegal through the use of a simple associative subtext. This process emerges independently of the painting itself, in essence depicting just portraits of individuals through which white liquid runs in numerous streams, and so breaks through perceptual limits of the human body within the framework of not only art, but also the modern world as a whole.
Ivan Alifan describes this series, "This series is an examination of the modern sight; ambiguous figurative paintings that are exposed and modified by the act of the individuals' perspectives." These photos are not intended to depict physical attributes, but rather to build a language of underlying sexual subtexts. The use of ambiguity as a tactic necessitates the viewer's examination of their psyches and raises self-awareness. Having a picture that can function as an enticing object and then transform into an eroticized person disarms and naturalises the modern gaze, thereby decriminalising sex in art. Whether a person sexualizes the figure or gets embarrassed and anxious at the slightest idea, this is a process that happens independently of the picture. "Breaking down the barriers that exist between the many modalities in which the body might exist in social realms and contemporary art."
