Semenskiy's paintings abound in light vanishing meanings and always rest on personal unobjectivized links and codes - a classical material for a plastic compositionat times looking more like dancing than drawing. Painting with Semenskiy is an action that boils down to establishing a brief and direct link with reality. The substance of that link is the meaning of an artwork. The artist discovers painting as the language and form of that link, or rather painting makes that link obvious. Painting amounts to the understanding of the physics of the world, which man needs primordially, even if he is not quite aware of it.
