Tatiana Andreeva
"My works from the 1970s are an ode to paper. I am deeply fascinated by the texture of paper—rough and smooth, expensive and inexpensive, newsprint, wrapping paper, thick drawing paper, transparent glossy vellum, and matte parchment. I love how paper absorbs and repels paint. For me, it is perhaps the most intimate medium. It is where my earliest ideas are expressed. Only now am I beginning to work with canvas, and everything is different here."
A mathematician and artist renowned for her experimental projects involving optical patterns.
Born in Moscow, she is the daughter of a renowned textile designer and leading artist at the "Krasnaya Roza" factory named after Rosa Luxemburg. She studied theoretical and mathematical physics at the Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty of Moscow State University. In 1970–1971, she worked at Grisha Bruskin’s studio. In 1975, she graduated from the Textile Institute and was assigned to the Applied Arts Combine.
She received a medal for the "Gradient" collection at the Tallinn Fashion Days and a medal for the "Wave" collection at the Riga Fashion Days. Key projects include "Squares," "Insects," "Gradient," "Gorodets," "Hello!," "Union-Apollo," "Wave," "Electrification" (in collaboration with Anna Andreeva), and "Four Rooms of Total Design" for the Central House of Tourism. Recent exhibitions include: "Art from the USSR" (Checkpoint Charlie Museum, Berlin, 1998), "Fabrics of Moscow" (Moscow Museum, 2019), "The Future Laboratory: Kinetic Art in Russia" (Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, 2020), "Everyday Soviet" (Zimmerli Art Museum, Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA, 2020), "History of Russian Design: The Highlights" (Museum of Design, Moscow, 2021), and "Building Socialist Spaces" (Museum of Decorative Arts, Berlin, 2022), "Square and Space. From Malevich to GES-2" (GES-2, Moscow, 2024).

Modules from the "Magnets" Series, 1974
Paper by Goznak, gouache
210 x 72 cm (diptych)
Unique op-art "modules" were created in the 1970s. The artist emphasizes that her kinetic puzzles have their roots in natural patterns. Essentially, her works are landscape lyricism transformed through mathematical formulas into a visual code. As a mathematician, Andreeva translates her inspirational images into logically precise structures, essentially reconstructing reality anew. Her "modules" can function both as individual standalone pieces and as part of a unified "infinite" installation—each part connecting with others while maintaining a geometric grid.
The "Modules" were created for Andreeva's experimental project known as the "Four Rooms of Total Design." They were designed for the Central House of Tourism in Moscow, a Soviet modernist building constructed for the 1980 Olympics, designed by architect Vladimir Kuzmin between 1972 and 1980. The dynamic ornamentation transitioned from wallpaper to linoleum and lounge chairs, forming part of a complex optical-geometric system.
The project was approved by the architectural council but was not realized due to ideological reasons.
