“Artist
Union. Still life” is a reflection on the law of large numbers. Is it
applicable in visual arts — to colors in painting, lines in graphics,
forms in sculpture, and the image integrity in installations? The law
of large numbers is a principle that describes the completion of the
same experiment many times. According to this law, the joint action of
a large number of random factors leads to a result almost independent
of the chance. For example, in the XVI century the length of the
English foot was defined, by a royal order, as the arithmetic average
length of the foot of the first 16 people leaving the church on Sunday
matins. Although the law of large numbers was not yet defined, it
serves as the basis for the principle of arithmetic mean used in
determining the length of a foot.
