Line Dualism
Line dualism is one of the directions of abstract art, invented and developed by the Russian artist Igor Petroff in the 1990s.

Based on the principles of abstractionism, and using the methods of analytical art, Igor Petroff created a new direction in painting, where art forms and elements of the canvas follow the principle of “from particular to general” and, conversely, “from general to particular”. . The painting develops from a point, like a sprouting grain.

Description
The essence of "line dualism" is as follows. In philosophy, dualism (from lat. Dualis - dual) is defined by a combination of two principles mutually affecting each other, but not changing their structure, for example, matter and spirit, body and consciousness, good and evil. In this case, opposites connect, but do not share reality. They are not enemies, but complement each other. Line dualism is "line" in the literal sense, since it is based on the line (/), as a symbol of movement, making it double (//), the artist set out to create the simplest model of dualism - the shell and its contents, conditionally body and soul, and with the help of it, the artist considers the interaction of objects, states, forces, sometimes opposite in essence, but inextricably linked with each other. Using several double lines, either attenuation or tension of the relationship occurs, the rhythm and energetics of the event are created.

In painting, harmony is expressed by a balanced contrast of "cold" and "warm" colors, light and shadow, saturation of space and emptiness. Dualism is everywhere and in everything. The main goal of creating this direction is to concentrate the observer's attention on endless examples of “line dualism” in life.
