 | | "The background of Solomoukha’s pictures seems to represent “depth” in the sense of “the depths of a barrel”, “the depth of the eyes” or, better yet, “the depths of a tunnel” and “the depths of ages”. |
 | | Solomoukha’s depths are indeed characterized by a kind of ambiguity between surface and depth, as tough particles of matter, ash, still-burning lava and scorched, oxidized earth, had risen to the surface only to give a hinting perception of the distant flames from which they burst forth. |
 | | One is reminded of the walls of Rome, for example, whose colors, the many shades of ochre and soot-penetrated reds, the peeling layers of rough-rendered stucco, pigments weathered by the seasons, show us the workings of time. |
