Review by Susan Reynolds
Margarita Krivitsky’s art encompasses many areas. She is a sculptor, painter, muralist, lecturer, mentor and art teacher.
She has exhibited internationally and her latest exhibition Alice In Venice features paintings, drawings and sculpture. Archival limited edition prints are available for many of the art works.
Alice’s world is magical, where expression is unrestrained and no one worries about earthly concerns like gravity or preoccupation with lateness for that matter. This is Margarita's Alice where the characters are sometimes in wonderfully drawn period dress, sometimes not, but may have a beautifully surprising cassowary’s, cat’s or dog’s head. Characters speak to you out of the frame with their own personalities inviting you in.
Quoted titles “why is it you’re always too small or too tall” - are a wonderful example of a quirky look at the silhouette and tattoo effect incorporated into a reference to the tale with rhythmic trees and a beautifully arched flamingo framing the piece. I particularly liked the pencil work and watercolours combined in a number of the pieces where I found the drawing to be beautifully detailed.
You can escape darkness or dangerous places here for it’s relaxing. Take in the spectacle of Alice’s adventures and enjoy the essence of the Venice Carnival with some works with the richness of surfaces and bright hues used. Colourful flamingos and other birds with bright feathers are the artist's craving connections with nature she conveyed to me. The figures in the paintings are liberated. One gets the sense that Alice’s world is a non-judgmental place. The flat chested rabbit struts his stuff in heels reminiscent of Jessica Rabbit. “However Everything is Queer Today”
Ride the gondola of the artist's mind as she peers into the ever-changing waters where the imagination flows. The ability to exercise a freedom of expression is paramount for this artist.

Erkin writes: "One of the most known story of the mankind, One of the most rendited story and character group. We can say that, "Alice in Wonderland", is one of the most cliche topic of the art world. Every artist tried to interpret a bit. of it. Including me. :) That is why creating up something new is a very big challenge. I can honestly say that Margarita has achieved that challenge. Lots of art pieces with different touch, approach and technique. I am deeply impressed.
Cheers "

NM: I have been admiring Margarita's art for years... I will tell you more about my own story: Margarita taught my children personal lessons in art for years... I am not surprised my Masha draws spectacular pieces and she is also a fashion designer (@Margarita Krivitsky 's class included that part too) - Masha makes her own dresses. My son also attended Rita's classes - it helped him so so so much in his current work - he is a bit shy o tell but I know this. Rita has a beautiful ability to "open up" a creative part in EVERYONE Her classes are attended by adults and kids : sculpture, visual and you name it what! Rita helped us so s so much during the hardest times of our lives when Masha and Misha's dad passed away she offered our kids FREE classes. Knowing Margarita's deep soul kindness and her sensational talent for years now I observe her progress in art - sometimes I say" this is te top of the mountain - how far she can go - this is the pick of imagination and this art is already so elegant and balanced YET she still goes further up and find a new mountain to climb and shine again! they are the words from me- jut sorry can not hold it as I love her with her hands and her heart so much
Susan Reynolds was also lucky enough to run an interview with an artist
SR: Can you share with us briefly your art background and how you came to be an artist? Was your imagination always so vivid? As a child for example?
MK: My father is 83 y.o always paints and writes, he started giving me paints since I was 3.I always wanted to be an artist, nothing else. My imagination gets more vivid with age.
SR: Does images come to you in dreams or late at night? Do you have any comments about the creative process?
MK:: It comes spontaneously at any time of the day or night.
SR: Has Alice in Wonderland been in your mind as a theme for a long while before starting this exhibition or is it a more recent inspiration?
MK: It’s my second show on Alice,I almost know my next theme now, it could be with or without Alice.
SR. What gives you the greatest pleasure to use; do you have a favourite medium?
MK: Oil, watercolour, clay....
SR. What is the time span you have produced this work within?
MK : About 2-3 years
SR: What are your own favourite elements within the exhibitions? Being a cat lover the cats are a favourite element of mine Do you keep many yourself that you can’t part with?
MK: I had cats and dogs in my childhood always, but now my home is my studio with many kids and adults coming through. No time or space unfortunately for pets. My cats are almost humans. They have a lot of character and massages in the eyes. I think in our urban life we miss nature a lot, my craving for it manifests in the images of animals and birds surrounding Alice.
SR: Thank you very much for your time Margarita and we look forward seeing your next set of works
MK: Thank you
