– You like purple, right?
– Purple’s cool.

A short dialogue in Bella's room between her and Charlie, conveying an atmosphere of awkwardness and concern. The purple bed linen with a floromorphic ornament chosen by the saleswoman became an integral attribute of Bella Swan's room, a kind of comfort background for romantic scenes and teenage self-reflection.  
This could be the "Purple show” in the cycle of mono-themed exhibitions by Pasha Bezor. However, the fascination with purple, which has accompanied the artist since childhood, and the range of nostalgic impressions, form a deliberately straightforward statement: "Purple is my favorite color." 
Purple or manganese violet, invented as an independent pigment in the 19th century, was an important tool of Impressionists seeking to capture elusive shadows and shades in nature. Claude Monet especially admired the properties of purple and described it as the true color of the atmosphere. 
In Pasha Bezor's new painting, the elements characteristic of his artistic language are recognized: naively ironic characters and objects reveal the artist's personal mythology, intertwined with the history of color. 
Another important medium mask for Bezor is “Visitors". Unwittingly, the artist gives them their own features, so that they identify with him. At the same time, the masks have their own agency and observe the visitors of the expositions. Intuitively, through the creation of masks, the artist works with the concept of the "death of the author", offering his literal reincarnation. Upon closer examination, one can recognize how he captures the rise of the "molder", in the terminology of Jacques Attali, against the background of the author's death — a rather important and characteristic situation for the culture of late capitalism.
