Head of an old clown

* * *

...........

In the piece “Head of an old clown” the artist
brilliantly applied an element of geometric
allegory, placing below the element of scissors.
These are two geometric linear figures -
black and red, without which the composition
of the whole space would be fallen to pieces
like a house of cards.

The lines around the main composition being
associated with scissors give the illusion of
a harmony of disharmonious content of space.

The artist boldly introduces a very complex
element - a reverse-moving perspective.
Not many artists have succeeded in creation
of such a complex element in the field geometric
abstraction.
In spite of such a complex construction of both
figure and color, Izabella managed to expose
the whole depth of the old clown's soul.

Two compound circle, one of which rotates
and another that falls to pieces, are the
elements of the clown's eyes, his life and death
The disintegrating circle is carried away by.
elements of reverse-moving perspective which
keeps us thinking about eternity. The rotating

circle symbolizes the triumph of life.

But old age comes across, and there are countless half-arcs and elements of ochre
yellow, symbolizing mortality.
The majority of forms comprising the elements of the head are at the same time the
elements symbolizing arena, the audience, the brilliance of soffits. And just like a
whirlwind, they grab the view of the audience and carry it away, deep into outer
space. The grey triangle - the element of exit - symbolizes the path to nowhere.
