BN Yeltsin

Alexei Zaitsev works adorn many collections, such as a formal meeting, BN Yeltsin, a collection of the photographer E. Christmas. Arriving in the capital, the amateur painter found many wonderful stories and suffered a bustling world of Moscow and its environs in his paintings. In this work an unusually vivid impressionist: every story as if passed through the solar sieve and was given a new meaning. Preserving the naturalistic, talent of the master gives the fairy-tale paintings. Why is this happening? Obviously, an artist in love with the place that says, and every movement of his models are deeply inscribed in context of the plot. In other matters, he himself admits it …

For example, a picture of "Walking along the shore," executed in cold blue tones, but breathes the freshness of the south: there is a warm sun, playing in the red hair girl. Easy to dress, cautious movements, elegant greyhound – as if this couple went for a walk in the ephemeral world. That warmth and sophistication wafted from the track set up with an extraordinary love, and in quiet harmony. The painting depicts a small figure with an umbrella: the girl with a toy in his hand, not being afraid to get wet, the rain comes with the usual childhood playfulness and interest. Cloth breathes like moisture, serving abroad and exciting in these feelings and viewer. The picture is registered by large strokes, three-dimensional layers of paint create a sense of aliveness is happening. Rain, but, nevertheless, we see the purity and brilliance of the wet gloss of asphalt pavement filled with water – only a shadow in front of houses obscuring the latest "washed" and the street light tension a little pedestrian.

Late Antiquity

Easel – this is a wooden or metal lathe for painting, for which the artist attaches at the time of painting, drawing, and so at different altitudes and often with a different slope. Why do we need an easel? First, canvas on the easel securely attached, eliminating the fall and damage the future picture. Secondly, the artist with his easel painting has the ability to set at a certain height, easy to work standing or sitting. The canvas, mounted on an easel, you can move the height and adjust its angle of inclination. Easel allows the master to put a picture of the compact in the workplace and retreat to more accurately monitor the progress of their work. History easel easel Originally called the base oil paintings on wood or metal shields.

In addition to Byzantine icons and images of the Egyptian mummies the Late Antiquity period easels were first used in 11th and 12th centuries in the making of altar stands, and in the 16th century, driven by a wooden frame stretched canvas. Dutch artists and their imitators have continued, however, draw on easels and in later periods. In the 19th century as easels have been applied and resistant strains hardboard. Variety easels Easels are divided into two groups: jig easels, already known in antiquity, and easels, consisting of upright posts mounted on a horizontal basis. Easel easel is a two interconnected frames: top and bottom.

Them commonly used by professional artists working on paintings of large dimensions. Easel easels are folding and stationary. For the convenience of moving the studio to the bottom frame can be set castors with brakes. Easel easels are usually equipped with the most advanced device lock and move, and even screw mechanisms.

The term "Batik" refer to various ways of silk painting. The art of painting on cloth originated in ancient times. Archaeologists and historians have found the earliest evidence of the use of batik techniques in ancient China and Indonesia. Aborigines on the island of Java before the advent of tissue was applied ornaments on the dishes with wax and wax-free at places struck natural colors. The meaning of "batik" in Javanese dialect means "painting with hot wax." In more recent times, experience applying decorations to kitchen utensils with hot wax was very successfully used by the masters of painting products from the tissue. Wax staining of tissue tears away the paint, protecting the (reserving) of its natural color, and the result appears on the cloth pattern. Because of this chemical property of the wax and it became possible to use This painting techniques of tissue, known as 'hot batik'. Placing wax pattern if necessary to get the greatest variety of colors can be repeated more than once.

Method 'hot batik' is most clearly represents a tremendous opportunity in silk painting, but it is quite time-consuming and not easy to perform. In ancient China, the birthplace of silk, local artists have realized a completely different method of image, different from traditional Javanese.

Part of the work of artists use only ink and other colors as pictured natural and mineral origin. At the same artists who perfectly mastered the technique of drawing, it is not used in his work outline, preferring the unrestricted movement of the hand across the surface. Most likely, the name of 'free painting' has started on them. In the early twentieth century in the Russian Empire, have invented a protective structure that does not require preheating.

For such a simple word "artist" is hidden not just a person engaged in the fine arts, and the thin, vulnerable and romantic nature. ** Artists () ** pass through all the pros and cons of life. They feel the itself all the brightness of the universe, but are looking for inspiration in the details. For them, creativity – the meaning of life.

He cut off from the world and lives in a dreamy world. Leonardo da Vinci, Van Gogh, Picasso, Rubens, Raphael, Monet, Shishkin, Aivazovsky – many famous painters remember history! They are all geniuses and we should not forget that.

Breaking away from the conventional canons, are masterpieces. They are relatively large and we do not stop admiring them. So many beautiful portraits of the "Mona Lisa", "Lady with an Ermine," "Perseus and Andromeda," "The Ninth Wave," "Madonna and Child," "The Transfiguration of Christ" – they can be a long list, but worth a look only once, and already fall in love in the age-old images.

American Paint Indians

If the first relevant protoyuvelirnye jewelry and silver jewelry (rings, bracelets, necklaces), in consequence, just him and joined the clothes, the second – drawings in the form of tattoos. Intermediary, but no less important than the first two, was the use of jewelry, a change which was difficult. Just in time for him and belongs to what is today called the buzzword piercing. Pinsinga are an extreme manifestation of masculine and feminine earrings (they are extremely smoothly and easily replaced), diametrically different, eg ring, which increase the neck, something that can be changed, but this action may serious damage to health. Thus, we see that the people also in our sverhtehnologichny century, at least in this regard not how it differs from a related individual, which appeared two hundred thousand years ago, somewhere in the woods central Africa. Civilizational achievements are very ambiguous.

In Africa, various tribes and peoples use of all three types of "undergarments embellishment comes in the fullest form. However, soon it can be called embryonic, when neither party had not received any pre-emptive move. Unlike the African societies in the rapidly developing regions in Europe, Asia, and to a lesser extent America, continuously exchanged their Priorities in this area. During the tens of thousands of continuously taking place in the correction of the value and importance of a particular type of decorations. And while in the duration of the entire history of the primary cause of increase or decrease the value of a species were the following: – allocation of the total number of their own kind (this applies to both attract attention and to intimidate, such as physical fighting American Paint Indians and tattoos hardcore thugs) – underscore belonging to a particular community within the various social groups (eg, military, jazz, ruling, crime, maritime, etc.) – Religious specificity. In these circumstances it makes sense to speak not only as a sign of belonging to a particular sect or religious group, both in pagan and in these religions – Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, but including the use of most of these elements to promote the spiritual perception of "divine power".

The fact that shamans traditionally painted tattoos and pierced different parts of the body and inserted into them alien elements (as an example, lip piercing) to improve the perception of spiritual energy – generally acknowledged, but it also applies to modern religions. For example, in Islam and Judaism, circumcision is obligatory (no more than a element of the piercing), and rings, pendants, bracelets, necklaces, (after all, the Christian cross – a ritual pendant) with precious stones and precious metals indispensable for followers of all faiths. What we have now? C population growth and increasing availability, at least in the civilized world, the vast majority of variable selection, such as jewelry and clothing, growing desire and need from a variety of social groups distinguish themselves by slowly exchangeable or non-replaceable decorations. Important is the fact that despite any scientific advances increase the importance and spiritual spheres homo sapience. This leads to a surge of interest to piercing, tattooing and permanent make-up (eg, tattooing of lips). And most likely that interest in the near future will only increase, especially as today's medical practices are increasingly bring them closer to the replaceable kinds of decorations of the human body.

What a great joy! “And always went to hear” grass vegetation “, and” talk wood sheets “, and” stream Lepetane.

Landscapes of Isaac Levitan – very Russian, Russian convincingly by constant feelings in them human origin. The artist depicted only inhabited landscapes, never felt the desire to go into any wilderness, “where no one had gone before.” Habitable nature of man, as though it may seem strange at first glance, further emphasizes the constant lack of it in the pictures Levitan.

He wrote it in 1895, while in the Jam – the estate of his friends Turchaninov.

Esoteric Sculptures

Why mammoth ivory? For us it is a material that allows you to fully disclose any of our creative design, he made a special contribution to the style of sculpture. The same subtlety of expression, light and shadow, spatial sensations are not able to create any other material. Unfortunately, the current value of a mammoth tusk as esoteric material (which it is primarily for us), is almost lost, obscured by its high cost and because of this elitism of this material. As a general rule, most inexperienced people mammoth tusk associated with modern souvenirs are small, in most its load-bearing primitive meaning. Skulpturs from mammoth ivory – a new and so unusual phenomenon in the art, which is difficult to assess unambiguously.

Our style of work with this material at first view is contrary to its traditional use in arts and crafts. In fact alleged abandonment of tradition turns into their new, modern re-interpretation and extension. Ambiguous evaluation high emotional involvement means that our sculpture from one of the oldest materials continued to help the audience identify themselves in the modern world, and hence have the same deep sense that the ancient objects of power. Bone – one of the oldest materials used by man. The first items from the bones were found in the parking places of primitive people the fifth to fourth centuries bc. They were both household and decorative objects and objects of worship: arrowheads, jewelry, amulets, ritual animal images. Items from the bones in ancient times symbolized the victory of man over the severe nature and served proof of courage and talent hunter.

Over time, bone carving as a separate form of art, has expanded its range of application: bone used to make handles weapons, jewelry, inlays, and various souvenirs. In particular, the Russian bone carving school is characterized by items such as cups, boxes, snuff boxes, small animal figurines. Currently carving mammoth ivory is not is widespread, mass art form. The range of this material in the total mass remains practically unchanged, not going beyond the decorative arts. Meanwhile, it is remarkably plastic and beautiful material, artistic possibilities which undeservedly forgotten, are not used due to the fact that most underrated of contemporary artists, and as a consequence, the audience. The work presented is called the 'mushroom shaman' (mammoth ivory, height 21 cm Private collection). 'Mushroom Shaman' has given rise to a whole shamanic-psychedelic lines, which is still ongoing, and it can be trace in all our works, not even directly related to shamanism. Sculpture itself is a shaman who is in a trance, as a mediator between the viewer and the other world of spirits. At this time the soul shaman travels to other worlds, leaving the body. The composition is shown as a transpersonal experience of the shaman, beginning in the energy channel of the spine, the visual form over his head a skull fantastic bird. In shamanism there is a representation of the three worlds: the lower, underground – a world of snakes, middle, earth – the world of Puma, the upper, heavenly – the world of Eagle. Skull of birds – a metaphor for the upper world of the Eagle, in which the shaman nadchelovecheskoe journey.
