Abstract

The article reveals the specific creative work features of the Krasnoyarsk painter Yuri Dmitrievich Deev through a philosophical and art historical analysis of the paintings Elijah’s Day 1990 and Repentance 1995–1997. The study relevance is determined by the growing attention of contemporary humanities scholarship to the national identity issues, spiritual continuity, and the religious imagery role in the artistic culture at the twentieth and twenty first centuries turn. The research demonstrates that the analyzed works represent an integral symbolic system in which artistic space is organized as a model of the world order uniting natural, human, and sacred dimensions. The paintings reveal an intensification of religious and philosophical reflection and an appeal to the theme of the inner transformation of the individual. The identified features make it possible to consider the artist’s oeuvre within the context of the formation of Siberian conceptual art, characterized by the integration of local cultural tradition, archetypal imagery, and the historical experience interpretation
