Victor Zelik and his contribution to the fate of contemporary art

This artist himself calls Slavic, but not defining the nationality, but according to the fact of birth and residence in the Ukrainian city of Slavyansk. Today Victor Zelik is proudly honored with the title of recognized master of easel watercolor painting.

The artist graduated from the Kharkov Academy of Design and Arts. And while studying, and throughout the creative path for him, the study of the works of Mikhail Vrubel and Valentin Serov became fundamental in the formation of artistic culture. No less influence on Viktor Zelik was provided by other artists of the expansive association of the end of the XIX century, called "The World of Art". In unison the main idea of ​​this association, the work of Viktor Zelik himself became a way of expressing the personality of the artist.

All of them are well recognizable, they are united by a common theme. A street musician playing the violin, a girl hurrying to the beach, a Jew reading the Talmud, a lonely man under an umbrella. Actually, lonely on the canvases of Victor Zelik are even ships, cats and cars. And the psychological center is always not a person, and not an object, but the city landscape itself.

The artist's fame has long since left his native country. His works are kept not only in the collections of Slavic, Kharkov, Donetsk and Kramatorsk museums, but also occupy a worthy and honorable place in private European and American collections. Some of them became a true poetic inspiration. The painting, which is called "Walk", provoked the poet to write poetry, and "Saxophonist" made the writer write a story. If one creativity generates another, then the world of modern art has no reason to worry about its fate.

Regina Silveira: deeper than the abyss

The true creator always, sooner or later, reaches the recognition of grateful spectators. Almost ten years of research and experiments passed before the path of exploring the perspective led the artist Regina Silveira to international recognition. Slightly disturbed by the rapid glory of the ideological problems prevailing in Brazil, but the cosmopolitanism of the multi-media artist has won. Initially, she was an engraver and designer, who fully focused on the processes of reproducing graphic images using silkscreen. Today, the artist's work exploits video art, which links the conceptual elements into endless projections.

Geometric figures do not just excite space, they seem to create a new - unknown, and belonging only to them. The viewer, examining them, falls into a special illusory installation.

The project is called "Abyssal" and is designed to reflect the image of the abyss, which, as you know, is not just very deep, but bottomless. The figure of a person on its background becomes a tiny particle of the whole universe. It should be especially noted - almost all designs consist of simple geometric lines, similar to elongated windows. And the effect is staggering: the feeling is not just a qualitative illusion, but real magic.

Alexander Khodyukov about life as an art

Alexander Khodyukov was born in the glorious Belarusian city of Vitebsk, where he still successfully lives and works. His work, literally, is boundless, if we talk about styles, techniques and subjects. It seems that he does not choose the way of writing each canvas, but the plot he depicts. For example, a picture depicting a girl on a summer, flowering meadow full of her beauty, blush and red poppies to the brim, Alexander Khodyukov will create in the style of impressionism. For a quiet autumn landscape, reflecting the autumn forest, idealism is ideal. And all the colors of the early, spring morning, which has just bloomed, because the sun has risen, he will find in modern. If you tell about the subjects separately, then they are more than diverse: still lifes, sea views, landscapes, portraits, magical and surreal worlds, unpredictable fantasy and over-intuitive nu. Used paints also in a wide palette: both oil, and watercolor, and acrylic.

Saturation and richness of the color scale are present in all his works, and brightly convey the optimism and energy of the artist. Modern art critics see in his works, created in a realistic manner, much in common with the works of the legendary Tom Hanks. It is about the same style, which in modern art is already called "emotional realism." This very art comes from a clear inner feeling and a sense of the right direction. This style is born by rethinking your own life, finding the sources of its impulses and unraveling its secrets. That's all the reasons for the similarity - only in the method used, nothing more.

Fabulous St. Petersburg Vladimir Kolbasov

Artist-poet Vladimir Kolbasov, creates fantastic city landscapes, painting with watercolor gives the paintings a special lightness and transparency. Vladimir masterfully reflects the glare of the light in every work, even in tightly closed courtyards-wells. And with subtle weightless strokes, St. Petersburg from the cold imperial capital, from the city "humiliated and offended", turns into a bright, Anderson-like fairy-tale, unique world. The whole city seems to be reflected in the water, the houses dance to the smooth rhythm of the city, the trees are bent in the greeting of the townspeople, and the bridges seem to soar in the sky. The lines drawn by Vladimir do not follow the shortest path straight from point to point, but move, as they are interested.

A distinctive feature of Kolbasov's works is a scrupulous drawing of the smallest details that give the canvases authenticity and special charm. The artist prefers to work with watercolor, rather than than with oil. Only with the help of watercolors, he can fully express everything he has conceived, with a light touch of the brush he manages to write out a barely noticeable game of sunlight on the surface of the Niva River. Working with oil is almost impossible to achieve the same ease and clarity, layers of oil give the paintings roughness.





I can not believe that all the fairy-tale city landscapes, painterly painted by the artist, have an exact address, and they can easily be found in St. Petersburg strolling along quiet streets.

Vladimir Kolbasov, who was born in Leningrad in 1960 and lived all his life in a beloved city, tries to capture Peter in his works, as he remembered it from his childhood, with calm quiet streets, large puddles, drizzling rain and noble architecture. Petersburgers often attend personal exhibitions of the master, finding in his works echoes of his childhood, mentally returning to his native city, without new glass metal structures on the centuries-old streets of St. Petersburg and smog and smoke outside the window.

Mud good! First above! Level on this virtue, we forgive me In the country to go to college, junior transfer professional learning "visual arts". The professor does not teach, despise any technique and art history. I turn professional to the original intention is to draw, to express the minds of fantasy. But helpless my school style so, no work no ability to transfer, so I became a self-taught dog! There is no insight, but there are two lessons: 1. Everyone is talking about "practice", "ten thousand hours", really listen to it? Anyway, I did not. Just graduated before listening to. There are more inspiration, my mind there are more finished products, not a lot of practice or not express ah Today to understand, alas, why did you go? Learn art history Oh visit the museum Oh is not a waste of time but the idea of ??others can not replace the generation instead of substituting instead of their own hands Oh oh oh ... ... fast graduation people omit countless regret the crazy sound. 2. Try to say something in the book, and then deny, leaving with their own hand, with the use of God. (Why do we all have to deny the art of that set because it is too rigid, like a professional technical school, not like creation, but the art of the book is worth reference. Ultimately everyone has their own skills. Like Swordsman wrote the same, the sword on the things to be back down, but the next level is to mastery. "No strokes have strokes." Superstition techniques and a variety of composition color road as superstition "fans of the confidence of a large number of scribble." I was in a mess of a lot of scribes to experience me and the paints and canvas telepathic. Practice more subconscious will secretly form your skills.

Who is the most influential artist?

Who is the most influential artist?

I guess a lot of friends like photography to see this problem, will think of Bresson Bresson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Cartier-Bresson?

(Picture source, Baidu Encyclopedia) just and Jiyou chat when she mentioned, even Reddit are on his discussion. I think he is probably the most influential photographer in photography enthusiasts.

Mr. Bresson's track to me is like this -

Probably five or six difficulties, I mainly see Lofter (in fact, Tumblr, if not remember the words), tugs (a place like a bug, then do not know how to Tuo Mody), and photographed it, see Most of them are sugar water film, repair map was monotonous "goddess", or HDR landscape photos. This led me to a long time on photography photography this art, are not a very clear, not to mention the pursuit of the aesthetic position. So even if I take pictures, to deal with pictures, to try a variety of picture editing filters, I do not know what they are in the pursuit of feeling very confused.

Four years ago, a friend mentioned me to Brezhon's documentary photography, which may have been related to my own aesthetic tendencies, and I immediately found the feeling of the light on the road of photography and found my own photography Trying to find a composite of my values, the meaning of photography.

Three years ago I later learned about his idea of ​​Decisive Moment, feeling very inspired, "in a small part of a second, in a precise form to show the importance of an event, it becomes this The most appropriate description of the event. "Also let me on the philosophical meaning of photography have more thinking.

* The picture above is the junction of East and West Berlin, Bresson caught such a reverie, thought-provoking lens. Hands of the hand of the disabled, suggesting that the war had occurred before; armed guards, but also reflects the ongoing opposition. Coupled with the rainy weather of the dark tone, making the screen has a low atmosphere. Bresson often emphasizes observation, he said: "It is important to observe. Photography, in a very short time, agile show the most important part." (Source: [the moment of the master] Bresson classic works appreciation (1))

Bresson himself is probably a very interesting person, he is one of the famous kappa founding member. Two years ago I accidentally looked at a book called National Geogrphic Love, collected a lot of photography by the camera on the "love" interpretation. That photo I did not read the Internet, but interested friends can look for it, inside the Bresson's Contribution is very good. In fact, Bresson or painter, he was almost no photography, only painting. He painted like Matt and Sartre.

The effect of Bresson is that, in the photography of this big game of entertainment today, I look at the online and friends circle in a variety of filters, collage, puzzles, and I still know exactly what I want to keep trying Direction, what the so-called "photographic wave" and I have nothing to do.

I know a lot of photography on the gods, and I was just a DSLR all manual files will not use the beginners. Have you put a few words on my cell phone? So the phone on the original film editing and processing time, can find a lot of lack of mobile photography, and I can not scientifically and effectively control the phone camera and the problems. Everyone on the photography of God, laughed. The reason to choose these photos is because I think these photos is that if you do not listen to people talk about Bresson, I will not shoot things.

* This is a Parisian high-end apartment downstairs a home improvement store window, I found the bird in the cage on the "station" in the glass window reflected on the tree.

Ji You read these photos said, "You have good eyes" - compared to the base Friends touted my "good eyes", probably Bresson to my inspiration is to know the photos can be delivered more profound meaning, also You know what you want to do with the photo. Later I became a man who went to National Geographic to see the master works every day, and went to Reuters to see the people of Editor's Choice. But the beginning of Bresson to my inspiration, probably my so-called "good eyes" everywhere to see the power bar
