NATURAL MOTIVES IN THE CREATIVITY OF IREN FOX STEAMPUNK

The article deals with the products of Ukrainian artist Irina Proskurina, known under the pseudonym IREN FOX, which creates author's decorations in the steampunk style. The appeal to the natural forms, formed from watch movements, demonstrates the actual synthesis of the human and organic world. Natural images in her products arise in the context of a mechanical environment, which exists in the form of a passive background for the central figures, and as a full complement of silhouettes. To date, the work of Irina is an interesting and uncommon line of modern jewelry art - steampunk, which is, in fact, derived from watch-skeletons. Using the latest materials allows you to embody the original ideas, to form complex designs. Among the art critics, discussions are underway about whether it is worth considering jewelry made not from valuable materials or traditional techniques at the same level as classical jewelry, but a high artistic level of performance demonstrates their worthy place in the treasury of the world of decorative art.
