I was born in Minsk, Belarus. In my childhood I spent a lot of time alone, listening to fairy-tales on vynil records, drawing and waiting for my mom to come back home. When I was 14 we moved to Israel. It was suddenly hot, loud, people looked and talk diefferent. I started to go to art school, and all the system was not the same - not soviet academic as I used to, but abstract and conceptual. It was interesting and frustrating. Later I finished art academy Bezalel in Jerusalem.
KooKoo is honored to introduce you to Lena Revenko (1976) Lena Revenko, artist and designer, a graduate of the Department of Visual Communication at Bezalel, winner of international awards (list of awards below), regularly exhibits and very successful in Japan, China, South Korea and USA, exhibited twice in Fresh Paint.
"The coma of reason gives birth to monsters" said Goya. Lena Rabenko looks them straight in the eye.
Lena draws freely from a wide field of traditions, from illustrations of Russian children's books, through paintings of sacred portraits in iconostasis to Chinese painting and contemporary Japanese comics. She uses her works in the stylistic disguise of a childish, colorful, (but far from innocent) illustration to convey a cynical and sober message that asks the viewer, who is the monster here? Childish expression becomes disturbing when it is aware of itself and becomes an object for observation. Under the guise of a fairy tale, Lena comes to terms with the adult world. It examines what we are forced to part with in the process of growing up and being accepted into it, and brings back to consciousness the magical, wild worlds that have been trained and pushed inside.
In her works, Rabenko deals mainly with emotions: loneliness, pride, fear, love. The little secrets that try to hide, distress, anxieties.
