Authenticity of artist Y
I am already "fifty years old", and I still remember the color and material from which the folder was made, in which my works were stored. With what love my mother glued on it the image of Klodtovsky horse-builder, having engendered with one movement of her hand the love for horses and art (by the way, I perceive this concept more as a temptation than as artificial, fake).
With regard to the period of apprenticeship, the first memorable teacher of IZO was an art teacher at school. She brought a rabbit to the lesson as a live model. The rabbit didn't want to pose at all, I guess since then I do most of my work "by representation", but the main source of inspiration is real wildlife. Then, my wonderful teachers at the university: Tagirov - it's impeccable taste, a constant war against kitsch. Unforgettable art practice Moscow-Leningrad - two weeks of fascinating excursions: Tretyakovka, Hermitage, Russian and Pushkin museums, Kolomenskoye, Peterhof. Great
Rembrandt and Canova, Vereshchagin and Vrubel in the original - the name of the heart and delight bordering on ecstasy. Plein air in this magnificent cultural environment, copying the old masters. I myself consulted and taught for quite a long period, but never had such students as Serov and Vrubel at Chistyakov. I draw strength, first of all from my work as a riding coach, I have given more than 15 years to this kind of activity, I am sure that this is the right way to make my creativity deep and authentic. Quite "mind blowing" early Lucian Freud, Adolphe William Bouguereau, the novella "Portrait" by Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol and of course the Adme website. I admire Escher and Klimt, as a result of which, sometimes I am dissatisfied with something in my work: "And there is no rest for us, burn, but live...". I can define the vector of my creativity as follows: academism plus pantheism minus marasmus marasmus.
In the questions of my "life in life" and "life in art" I find a continuous Brownian movement, which I do not see much sense in digging and sorting out. The mirror is fogged up and that's fine, and if you want to see something, there are plenty of alternatives. In my work I think that the main thing is to get carried away and then a keen desire will come, which in its turn gives birth to suffering and then, in confrontation with this nonsense, something is born. I would like to make a cycle of easel illustrations on the book "Moby Dick" by G.Mellville. Due to the fact that I want everything and now, I try to diversify the styles of works from formalism (although it is not a style at all) to classicism.
