" Phantom of Freud "

  • The series of graphic artworks  "Phantom of Freud" is an immersion into the artist's fictional world.
  • Based on a good knowledge of the history and culture of our planet, I drew a parallel between events in the world during the life of Sigmund Freud
  • and each exhibit from the “Phantom of Freud” series is an alleged dream of Sigmund Freud.
  • I caught each composition as a mental image in the flow of my Advaitart strategy, as some kind of knowledge from above.
  • Interesting unusual visual artistic compositions look surreal at first glance, but when looking at each artistic painting individually, you begin to read it like an encyclopedia of symbolism.
  • Combining very real objects and juxtaposing them into situations that are unrealistic for them. - this characterizes my style and strategy called Advaitart - the hypothesis that everything is united and compatible.

The goal was to bring secret knowledge to the general public through an exhibition curated in local history museums in various cities. In 2009, in St. Petersburg, I carried out enormous work to create this exhibition series. Also, until 2009, the original exhibition with completely different artistic paintings called “All Freud’s Dreams” traveled to local history museums from 2007-2008 in Russian cities. In 2010, the "Phantom of Freud” series to seriously interested the French art gallery Carpentier and the exhibits went to Paris to expand the audience and popularise my art. Some works of art from the series were sold on the first day at the autumn auction of Massol at the Hotel Druot, they were sold from the Carpentier art gallery following together with the graphics of Salvador Dali. To prevent all the exhibits from being sold out, the Carpentier Art Gallery kept some of the works of art. Also, another part of this series returned back to St. Petersburg. In St. Petersburg at the end of 2010, I created even more new exhibits and exhibited them in a new version along with some of the old exhibits at a personal exhibition in 2011. Gradually, one after another, the exhibits were sold all over the world.

 


The triptych " Psychedelic nude of Freud "

 

 The triptych "Psychedelic nude of Freud". The first artwork in the "Phantom of Freud" series. He simply believed that he was born from a doll, and saw his own head attached to the body of the doll itself. In the second frame, he saw his birth from a doll, from the navel itself, that is, from himself, because the head of the giving birth doll consists of many heads of Sigmund Freud. In the third shot he was pregnant himself. In this dream he realised his infinity and immortality.

" The anti-Puppet "

 

 "Anti-Puppet". Why anti? because she controls herself. Here "puppet" is used as a common noun. Literally - a puppet is controlled by a puppeteer. Sigmund Freud felt his self-control after realizing his infinity and immortality. This composition is about freedom of will and spirit. Maybe this awareness helped many patients get out of depression.  Also in this dream he controls a small puppet and it symbolises his accepting your inner child. Also the puppet's face is a cracked egg with the face of Sigmund Freud. The allegory of old patterns - the old mask is cracking. And the black square behind is a square academic cap. This translates as a transition to a new level of intelligence. In any case, this is Jeanna’s speculation, and perhaps this was the case.

" The morning coffee "

 

 

 The morning coffee with "the last day of Pompeii" Karl Bryullov .  A huge, worthless picture.  People do not express the emotions that they could have from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, they are theatrical. Why did he see this particular picture in the cup? Apparently this was a hint that people are not sincere in expressing their emotions, even in a psychotherapy session. They put up blocks, are afraid to open up, and thus interfere with treatment.

 " Alter ego of  Mrs.Jeanna Dart "

 

   Mrs. JAK's alter ego is a dream of Sigmund Freud, in which he received new knowledge, a new slogan and manifesto - Psychoanalysis. The puns is presenting in huge numbers in the fairy tale “Alice through the Looking Glass” are mixed with a harmonious rhythm in a checkerboard pattern into the compositional line of the golden ratio point. Puns are mathematically defined chaos. Psychoanalysis too.This is a search for new personalities in the corridor of new mirror surfaces. For psychoanalysis it is extremely important to start the search from point zero, before the growth of hair on the head.  Find an alternative new world through the looking glass in yourself, create it. In the labyrinths of the psyche, analysis is necessary in order not to get confused. The need to constantly find new alter egos. They were always there, but were forgotten. They need to be seen in the mirrored corridors. See a mouse or a pear fruit and understand the symbol.

 " The surreal ball "

 

 All participants in the ball are existentialists. People originally born in a meaningless empty world are depicted with heads - eggs, without faces. They came to have a ball to give meaning to themselves and their lives. And from a clean slate and from a clean egg, fill it with new images, thoughts, innovations, objects... For example, modernize psychoanalysis.

" He realised the groundhog day "

 

  Through the prism of the existing subconscious painful memory of JeannaDart, Sigmund Freud could see a dream, because dreams are outside of time and space. This is the same patient Nikita who realized that every day for him goes the same way as the previous one and every subsequent day will be the same. This probably happened during a session in the psychoanalyst's office. When Nikita thought about his work, every day he destroyed different structures with a jackhammer, every day he sat dreamily in the corner of the room after work and didn’t think about anything at all, every day he slept and had no dreams, every evening he was hugging and try to crushed the only thing and a unique large ostrich egg and admired it. This was probably the beginning (24 years) of the age crisis = a quarter of a century (25 years).

" The spouse chichen "

 

 A Freudian dream that he could have dreamed like a dream within a dream. First, he dreamed that he was in the future in 2007 during a psychotherapy session with JeannaDart, during which she said that her great-grandmother of Jewish origin, born during the October Revolution and living in the Leningrad region, during the Second World War fell in love with an Austrian fascist who held the ring Siege of Leningrad. After the liberation of Leningrad, she hid him and the entire village in which they lived also did not surrender him to the power of the Soviets. This story was told to Jeanna Dart by her grandmother, the daughter of a Russian Jew and an Austrian fascist, the mother of Jeanna's father, who was born in 1945 and all her life her activity was to buy live chickens, then kill them and cut them up and take them to Leningrad in order to sell them to the townspeople. Continued dream in a dream Sigmund Freud saw a chicken carcass on a bicycle , without feathers, without paws, only a lady’s hat sticking out of its neck, exactly the same as what he had seen on his own wife. He ran after the departing bicycle and he felt that his wife was moving away from him.

" German Waltz "

 

  The dream of Sigmund Freud . The portrait + still life "German Waltz". This a record with a collection of waltzes from those countries and peoples whose relics were stolen by the fascist regime. The loot is brought to the feet of women and their children. The record symbolically replaces a lady's hat - this is an allegory on the topic of what to do with stolen property? Put it on your head and listen. Of course the generals know what to do, that's why they wore helmets with needles sticking out. This collection of soothing waltzes is for the calm state of mind of women and children. But what does a whole skin of a dead fox with inserted eyes have to do with it, Sigmund Freud asked himself in a dream. Does the allegory of one dead fox skin symbolise the pain of all those killed and maimed? yes, because the fox was killed for no apparent reason and there is no justification for this. The fact of the need to wrap it around the neck was invented by greedy hunters.

" F-2 "

 

    The F-2 is an exhibit from the anthropological museum named after invulnerability. The remains are in the form of a skeleton of a flying boot on wheels. Why does it look like a roller skate, thought Sigmund Freud, and how to put it on? Oh, exactly! This roller skate is designed to sculpture the spirit of the goddess Nike, she will put it on and finally move forward for real to find her lost head! I thought and began to watch how a huge female hand drew the wheels of the roller skates. In this dream I was in the body of a mosquito. And when I realised this, I was able to fly into the drawing and find myself in the body of a drawn elephant, this elephant was being taken to the city. Steam was smoking from the trunk and I felt the vibration of the wheels underneath me. Awoke. I thought that the roller skate skeleton was missing a head. Where is the skull?

 "A flashback of loss of face or self "

 

  Flashback of loss of face or self is about the patient’s recollection of proper upbringing and the aesthetics of communication. for some reason she told me this as her dream and now I see it too. It is also about revealing the concept of flashback as a particularly significant tool in psychoanalysis. The patient was from Thailand. In this country, losing face means losing honor and respect from people around you, and is equivalent to losing yourself. She screamed at her child for a very long time, loudly and angry, and even hit the child! During the session she was very ashamed of having such a dream. And I saw an allegory in my dream through an amazing composition. The woman covered her face with her hands, then, without separating her palms, she placed her hands on her knees. And instead of a face, I saw emptiness, and a face was imprinted on her palms.

" The repture of Europe "

 

  Is a dream of Sigmund Freud - this is a pun under the influence of inspiration after seeing a picture. The last artistic painting “The Abduction of Europe,” by Valentin Serov created in 1909-1910, this painting reveals a new period in the artist style, a move away from a realistic easel composition towards a monumental semi-decorative composition. The pun came as a composition in which Sigmund Freud sees in a dream Valentin Serov, who sits in a certain substance with eyes, ears and one tusk like a rhinoceros and holds with both hands the horns of two bulls, and around him there are five women, fractalised Europe, there are the assumption is that these women are allegories of the five new countries of Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Serbia and Bulgaria after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (1918). It is quite possible that Serov serves as an allegory of the Russian Empire. Also a pun on the word phantom, the name of the Rolls Royce car. This car also an exhibit from the F-2 museum named after invulnerability. The museum of invulnerability from the usual passage of time. That is why we see in this exhibit the Phantom Royce Rolls of the Freudian era and the shadow of the Phantom Royce Rolls of our era at the beginning of the 21st century.

" The power of madness "

 

  Also this artwork is about Freud's dream, in which he becomes a woman through masculism, his legs are bent in a natural way characteristic of a woman and he feels his dream through the crotch, through the empty space in the composition of the picture between of his legs.

The power of madness is about masculism, it is a mixture of three attributes of masculinity, this is when a man sits, and in the place of his fertile organ there is a bull, and on the horns of this bull he put on a two fish. This is when the bull is given a fish by the horns, and he rules the world. The entire assembled people listen only to him - the one who was able to subjugate religion and pulled religion onto the horns of capitalism. But at the same time he lost his horns as a means of physical self-defense. Now his defense is a cunning religious tale. In this work of art, the Ox is a symbol of great profit in the form of money, and Pisces is a symbol of Christianity and religion in general.

" Gloves dance the "Swan lake "

 

  Sigmund Freud's dream in which a black woman's glove danced with a white woman's glove and behind them 11 white gloves danced in a fractal dance. The sounds of the melody from the ballet “Swan Lake” are forever ingrained in my memory. In the still-forming consciousness of a five-year-old child in 1991, this motif of the great composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky has passed through decades and is always relevant and modern, about eternal unselfish love, haste and unawareness, evil and good. In the USSR, ballet was shown on TV when the political supreme chairmen died, and during the collapse of the USSR in 1991, the ballet was shown on all TV channels for three days in a row without stopping, only Swan Lake. At the age of five, Jeanna Kucherenko watched this flash mob performance too and played with dolls, and she put gloves on her hands and danced Swan Lake imitating ballerinas. When she realised that she had two hands and a lot of gloves, she began to insert cut electrical wire inside the gloves, creating any movements and compositions.

" Question of a nymphomaniac "

 

   - in another dream, Sigmund Freud was sitting at the table and looking at an illustration in a magazine. A girl was drawn with a huge question mark; she was a copy of the one who came to the experimental psychotherapy session. She was the first of those who responded to the advertisement posted in the city center. She came first and asked to get rid of her illness, she said that she did not like to take pills, and therefore hoped that the constant question of whom to choose from a huge number of sexual partners, and the constant sexual arousal would pass. Freud decided that he could help her by asking questions. While looking for answers, she will realise the reason for her nymphomania. Thus, the strategy of psychoanalysis was gradually born.

" The Phantom of Freud "

 

   The portrait of "the Phantom of Freud" . Sigmund Freud saw himself from the outside, in an egg, his head in an eggshell, his head was asleep and dreaming. The head did not fit in the egg. Apparently the head was watching a dream in which it saw itself sleeping. The egg rotated around an axis and was located at the top of the sewing machine. I thought that I was part of a mechanism and free will did not exist. And I woke up.

 " Thughts in the ass "

 

  Thoughts in the ass - this is the first verse drawn. A painted verse has a very strong impact through visuality. While watching this dream, Sigmund Freud decided to give patients a pen and paper so that they would draw the words that spontaneously come first and not write them, but draw them. When you come with a problem and then start doing automatic writing and drawing, then answers and reasons automatically come. An experienced reader will then be able to see and read the result on paper.The practice was also actively used by surrealist artists, they idolised Sigmund Freud.

" The portrait of Napoleon "

 

 

  Also this artwork is about Sigmund Freud's dream, in which he thinks about the paranoid personality trait and his imagination creates a portrait of Napoleon Bonoparte in the form of jackboots standing against the backdrop of the English Channel. The unfulfilled dream of conquering England. England is depicted as the headdress of the Great Commander. It stands on an eggshell, which symbolizes the army's great losses., and seagulls draw a capital letter "N" in the sky and chant “glory to France!”. Jeanna Kucherenko came up with this dream just like everyone else from the Phantom of Freud series

" The sumo wrestler strippers "

 

  The pun on the topic of professions that we want to try on and our capabilities. An excellent allegory for the treatment of fanaticism and obsessions in Sigmund Freud's patients. Jeanna Dart created a whole comic on the theme of this composition, about a sumo wrestler who dreamed of being a striptease dancer and gracefully piloting a pole.

" The collapse of the mother in the war "

 

 

  The collapse of the mother in the war - these are the feelings that I conveyed in this drawing.making scrambled eggs is a useful thing, there are so many chickens. There are a lot of eggs, a lot of them to dry and save, then we use them. -This is how politicians with a paranoid personality type justify any war,- Sigmund Freud thought.

" Planet of Emancipation "

 

  The dream  of Sigmund Freud in which he saw a girl carrying a huge eye. Her hands fused with huge eye and her head too. She resembled a tree man. Her phantoms followed her, floating away into the distance, in an endless number. They walked along a small round planet. Underfoot were tiles made with the imprint of female bodies, reminiscent of women from a series of cuttings by Henri Matisse. -How wonderful! - Sigmund Freud thought in a dream, - We can provide girls with entertaining work!

" The history, the wofem "

 

  In a fictional dream, a big feminist confronts the system of public opinion. Public opinion is based on a fundamental male view of all areas of any material and spiritual nature. In which there is a strict division into the dual world of men and women. In this dual world, men decide and women agree. All the characters in such a society are happy with everything. Feminist against division based on gender. The feminist does not attack in opposition to society, society attacks the feminist. I'm trying to remind you that more than a hundred years ago women agreed with feminists, because all women wanted to study - this desire is given to every living creature on the planet, but for some reason they were forbidden, and men were not against the beginning of Neopatriarchy, in which modern post-industrial society has removed most of the responsibility for weak women, giving them the freedom to go to work with hard physical labor, and the imaginary freedom of choice, and yet in many countries the society is still patriarchal. For example, the salary for women's work is much lower than for men's, and yet a woman supports children alone, and sometimes, and society practically does not react or regulate this point.
