Crack

enis Gulyaev’s Garden is not a traditional garden, but an art object that immerses the visitor in a metaphorical dialogue with the artist. The garden design uses a set of simple rigid geometric elements that work in contrast with the soft texture of plants and the tortuosity of the stream.

A zigzag path with a stream in the crack leads us to the central space, formed from inclined walls of corten.
Once inside the central art object, the viewer is faced with the ideas of destruction, fracture and crisis. There are two hands holding the bench. Hands of the artist-the most important tool to create. There is a dry tree, still strong and beautiful with its trunk. It is covered with barbed wire and the delicate sprouts of grapes. The mirror ball is an eclipse reflecting the space of the viewer around him. This composition of the garden relates us, on the one hand, to the works of Richard Serra, and on the other hand to Dali’s surrealistic paintings and Miro’s abstraction. Denis Gulyaev’s Garden is a philosophical reflection translated into the language of landscape design.
