Happiness - it's something that is always with you. Shining picture of artist Alexander Maranov

 

This - raindrops. This - the glare of fire.
This - shimmer. And flying in reality.
This is - something that everyone knows.
And no one knows!

From the book reviews the exhibition A.Maranova

Desire

Vivaldi - Adagio



The longer you live in this world, the more you realize that happiness - is something that is always with you. We just forgot (I - forget you - I forgot - they are forgotten, but now I remembered and will never forget) that happiness - it's almost like a match: it is always with you - now they just lay down in your pocket or lining. But it is still HERE.

And neither of whom is independent. Or from someone else's love or from our luck, nor from our state of affairs, nor of our non-loneliness. It - just is. Even though we are often unhappy. This is our internal skeleton, the skeleton, the blood, the calcium in our bones and a constant background is ironic in our minds.

Legends of the forest

Just do not forget: that happiness is so shrill and inherently so unbearable that when a person is experiencing it, it starts spinning like balls, which are tied to the neck thundering tin. Cool to only this happiness with yourself throw. Because happiness all seen (and thus shamefully), because it is very loud and unusual (and thus interferes with sleep, more precisely, even lie interfere) ... Because you from it - can not escape.

Invisible energy, the physical laws of light, mystery harmony, heaven and earth, outer and inner, love, suffering, beauty, entwined in a web of glowing lines - the reality of the creative world of Alexander. "Heat ... harmony ... peace ..." - write in the guestbook. And again: "From this room you do not want to leave. I would like to sit and watch ...

So Moscow discovered Alexander Maranov - artist unusual, bright, memorable and mature. It is compared with Vrubel, El Greco, ?iurlionis ... Critics rank to the Symbolists and neo-romanticism. Yet creativity Alexander Maranov - a unique phenomenon in modern Russian culture. And the essence of it in the difficult to grasp the spiritual realm, which is associated with the concept of mission in life a true master ...

Here is what the artist says about himself:
 

"My parents - natives of the village Petrakovy that on the Volga River, near Uglich. In difficult fifties went to work in the city of Tashkent bread, so yes there and stayed. In 1962 in Tashkent and I was born. The first time he took a pencil in seven years . It turned out, they say, well, so my mother took me to the children's art studio. All free time devoted to painting. In the end, the family council decided: to be an artist to me. This is the choice never in my life did not regret. "

Orchids
 

"In 1981, I graduated from Tashkent Art College, and in 1987 - Tashkent State Theatre and Art Institute. All these years, worked very hard, 16-18 hours a day. In addition to the mandatory assignments: drawings, sketches, drawings - to educate ourselves, delved into the intricacies of the art technology and modern masters of the past centuries, tried to open the mysteries of color, experimenting. My early paintings were very "material".

Changes occurred later - in their early thirties, when because of the large problems in his personal life, I went from Tashkent to Moscow. It was at this time after painful reflection about the meaning of life, the true vocation of the artist, on his mission came to me knowing in an instant overturned all my life - I opened Shining.

"My dream is to convey to people the beauty of Radiance, which saved me and introduced to the wonderful world of beauty and tenderness, which is so lacking now the man and what he seeks to ..."

"How are born the images captured in the pictures? Sometimes impressed works of fiction. For example," Lullaby "and" Margarita "were written after serious reflection on the" Faust "by Goethe. Sometimes during the sketches, drawings comes a certain image ...
Many works were born to the music of Bach, Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky - turn off the lights, close your eyes and surrender to the will of musical waves, inch by inch "monitor" their future work and, while it does not appear inner vision as a single whole, in every detail, complete with composition, do not rise to the canvas. Sometimes it requires more than one month ... "

Nikolai Blokhin. Graphics.


 

Do not want to write a curriculum vitae duty of the artist. Nikolai Blokhin was born in 1968. He graduated from Saint - Petersburg Institute of Repin. Upon completion of work there was the teacher of the department of drawing.

The creative life of the artist is interesting. Why - that abroad he enjoyed greater popularity than at home. Blokhin many exhibits in Europe, China, and especially in the US. Held more than 30 solo exhibitions in major cities across the country.

Participation in the two most prestigious international competitions brought him the Grand Prix - In the competition of the American Association of Artists - portrait at the Met - Museum (New - York) in 2002 and the Best of Show prize competition Society of Artists - portrait USA in Boston in 2004.

Particularly important in the exhibition biography for Blokhin was a personal exhibition in the house and studio wizard Russian Nikolai Fechin, in Taos, USA.

Recently, the artist is much more exposed in Russia, making his name known in his homeland.

In my understanding amateur Blokhin - a great draftsman. Often it creates large-format drawings, which are preparatory step in creating a beautiful composition. In fact, they initially are equal, independent works.
