About this collection

"The Mechanical Gardens" delves into the fluid nature of time, examining how the past, present, and future intersect in shaping human perception and experience. In this new collection, Orkhan transports us into a vibrant, living city, a space where technology and nature coexist in harmony, and where every architectural detail, street, and structure reveals the interplay between nostalgic echoes of the past and bold visions of the future.

At the heart of this collection lies the idea that the present is not an isolated moment, but rather a bridge that connects the memory of what has been and the anticipation of what is to come. The city depicted in Orkhan’s works is a place where time flows freely, unbound by the conventions of linearity. Each painting captures a moment that feels both timeless and ephemeral, where the viewer is invited to immerse themselves in a world of endless possibilities. The streets of this city are dynamic, ever-changing, reflecting the continuous evolution of both the environment and the people who inhabit it.

Architectural influences such as Art Deco and Brutalism add layers of symbolism to this narrative. Art Deco’s elegance and symmetry evoke the traditions of the past, while Brutalism’s massive, raw forms suggest power, stability, and the future's industrial potential. These styles are juxtaposed with organic elements, creating a visual dialogue between nature and machine, a central theme in Orkhan’s vision of a world where the mechanical and the organic are not in conflict, but in symbiosis.

In "The Mechanical Gardens," Orkhan challenges the viewer to think about their own experience of time. As we navigate through the city he has created, we are reminded that our present is continuously shaped by memories of the past and visions of the future. Though we can never fully relive or predict any moment, these temporal forces remain the most powerful lenses through which we perceive and engage with the world around us.

Through this collection, Orkhan aims to dissolve the boundaries of time, creating a space where viewers can lose themselves in the flow of the city, where the past, present, and future blend seamlessly, and where the lines between nostalgia and futurism are blurred. Each artwork invites us to walk the streets of this city, not as passive spectators but as participants in an unfolding story that transcends time itself.

Ultimately, "The Mechanical Gardens" is not just a visual exploration of time and space, but a philosophical meditation on how we live within the moments that connect our past, our present, and our imagined futures. Orkhan’s vision challenges us to embrace the uncertainty of time, to revel in the beauty of fleeting moments, and to recognize the power of art to create worlds that exist beyond the limits of time.

interview

A conversation with Orkhan Isayev

Like any artist, I discuss eternal issues in the language of my works using my own experience. I was born in a small town, where the daily routine had not changed for generations, and was rooted so deep in the minds of people that any tiny change or innovation was perceived as hostile. All this gave rise to my development as an artist - the search for new forms and thoughts about the future - what might it look like? Immersing myself in the world of futurist classics such as Syd Mead and Moebius, I found the answer I had always wanted to find. Improving my style over the years, I brought in different directions: art deco, streamlining, brutalism, which led me to the idea of ​​​​creating my own infinite universe, reflected in the collections Utopia, Infinity, Shine and Wheels etc. My artworks is a retrofuturist manifesto, in which the melodies of the past and the future merge into a single symphony that can be heard while immersed in the picture.
