We invite you to Gallery Maris – 20.03.2014 Art exhibition opening "gouache, tempera, acrylic"
For visitors the exhibition will be open from 20.03.2014 – 30.04.2014 .
Usually when organizing exhibitions on the principle of "technology", they do so in order to maximize its ability to present diverse. In this case it did not so. It is – because the pieces represented fifteen eminent authors scenic opportunities three techniques appeared bright and individually. It is not – because these possibilities are far from exhausted the scope of the exhibition.
Why this triad – tempera, gouache, acrylic? These techniques – the pillars of the technical evolution of painting. There is a certain symbolic relationship tempera opens a number of historical painting techniques (tempera history has more than three millennia) acrylic closes it.
Tempera – the oldest, and for many centuries remained universal (recall murals, icons, easel painting). Gouache known since the Middle Ages, although the term itself comes from the younger and XVIII century France. It refers to both the graph and to the kind of painting. As water-soluble paint and requiring fast operation, close to gouache watercolors. However, it refers to the opaque body color, allowing one layer overlap others.
Gouache on artistic effects similar to pastels.
Acrylic – modern material and also universal. We can say that we live in an era of acrylic art civilization produce acrylic fabrics, plastics, decorative coatings, paints of all kinds. Paintings as would bring us back to the source of the graphic-decorative acrylic paints (more precisely, based paints, acrylic acid derivatives) and demonstrate their remarkable scenic opportunities.
Acrylic paint reminds sometimes gouache, tempera and sometimes, it allows us to achieve the depth of color, you can write like distemper, as thin layers – glaze – and pasty strokes.
What connects the artists whose work is represented here? Any classification is fraught with artificiality. And, nevertheless, take the liberty to say that the work of these artists (by the way, regular contributors to the gallery "Maris Art") is the common ideological and artistic and aesthetic basis. Artists, painters and graphic artists – from different generations and space-time coordinates: Perm, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Tagil.
Their names refer to the three centuries Olga Potapova, the eldest of the artists, was born in the XIX century, her creativity – Century XX, and one of its most interesting periods for domestic art – 1960. Creativity of all – too XX century, many of the participants – they do today, in the XXI century.
They have a total time: a short interval, which caught and active age, everything is the Soviet era (for some brief "thaw" the '60s, for someone flourishing Soviet stagnation, for someone his last years ), and if you imagine the impossible and "put" all the artists in one historical period of time, it becomes obvious that all the authors would have been relegated to the Soviet "Curiosities."
1960, a short and stormy period of "the sixties", influenced many. Under the strong influence of the sixties, in the first place, Leo Kropivnickogo formed Olga Zyryanova creativity. For Alexander Repin, Peter Oborina – this time complicated creative searches, finding his own plastic and pictorial language; Alexei Sokolov for the sixties – a creative take-off, which resulted in great freedom to color, brightness and freestyle sonority Far Eastern Studies.
Surprising that artists formed in the post-Soviet period (O. Zyryanova V. Degtev) show artistic and ideological unity with artists whose creative growth came despite the official "time" in the direction of Nonconformist Art.
In this exhibition we can see in the great skill of artists using decorative qualities of the "three techniques," the adequacy of the transfer of copyright "Zova, referring to the viewer.
Expressive color motion planes Vladimir Nasedkin is semantically related to the abstraction Olga Potapova, which transmits color depth of some primal pulsation first mother.
Stained – light glow of colors and forms of deformation under the influence of light – Alexei Balmasov, with its unmatched scenic harmony decorative promise, intense emotion and suddenly being born after this tranquility.
Quite a different emotion – in the mysterious still lifes Vladislav Degtev, decided almost as picture story. Again and again, comes the idea that the emerging picture of a special, private atmosphere is directly dependent on the technique of its execution.
Otherworldly, "nepermskie" paint Alexei Sokolov, decide to sketch, this picture of small forms, pictorial task combination of monumentality, epic sounding motif with the Chamber of addressing someone to his soul.
Calm spring flood, snatched MIGU immobility – the same one when nature in perfect harmony is looked into itself before a stray wind will mix all the colors in tune surprisingly lyrical landscapes Anatoly Frenkel.
Profound and poetic landscapes of Igor Grishchenko, his wonderful still life paintings, interesting tint colors, but do not allow "fading."
Combination techniques gouaches and pastels lends expressiveness inner light in the chamber streetscape Alexander Kaznacheeva transmits refined atmosphere of the place. Vyacheslav Smirnov's work like color designs state poetic spirituality temperamental takeoff, swirl spray and beating wings of birds. Matt, velvety surface paint layer like mutes the sound, leaving the last word for the color atmosphere.
In the portrait of Aron Zinshtein drawing, color, composition and modeling volume, tone and line occur if both seem to be a continuous process. A few strokes he makes it clear that a true connoisseur of the human person is an artist.
Fifteen works of authors, each of which – a bright personality, are a different distance from reality: realistic and abstract composition is clearly demonstrated.
How do you manage to convey unique full-scale accuracy and depth of abstract detachment, using the same hardware, one of the picturesque vocabulary, and trade show displays …
