The Space of Experience

“Yankilevsky’s method maintains tension through the numerous plastic and meaningful codes and lines present in its structure,”¹See: https://arterritory.com/ru/vizualnoe_iskusstvo/recenzii/21440-master_predmetnoi_abstrakcii/. writes Sergei Khachaturov in relation to Yankilevsky’s major exhibition at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art in 2018. In the catalogue accompanying the exhibition, Boris Orlov and David Riff speak plainly and decisively, praising the harmony and Renaissance-like beauty of some of his works. I believe that the works the theorists had in mind likely included the pastels from the series The Space of Experiences.
