Exlibris of Eduard Gorokhovsky 1982

This is Exlibris of Eduard Gorokhovsky by Oleksandr Aksinin, but we don’t know when it was made or with what. Looking at it, I imagine Aksinin carefully plotting each tiny dot and line, building up this world like a cartographer charting an undiscovered land. I can almost feel the scratch of the pen on the paper, a slow, meditative process. There are so many hidden images to discover! What could Aksinin have been thinking about as he made this? The image has a dreamlike quality, a landscape of the mind. The geometric precision reminds me a little bit of Hilma af Klint. But the personal touch is all Aksinin. Each artist offers a different way of seeing, a new language to interpret the world around us. It’s like they're whispering across time, inspiring each other, and us, to keep creating, keep exploring.
