New prints: ar nouveau and baroque, geology and crystals

New prints: ar nouveau and baroque, geology and crystals

    This print collection is based on the two key elements: baroque style with its typical elements, and color or, more precisely, a color combination that is not spontaneous in each print. Certainly, a highly important role in these images plays an unusual texture. As for the figurative component, it’s dynamic and sensual: on the first print, this is a girl image; on the second one that’s an angel; finally, the third image shows baroque style windows. Thus, although every print is the sole individual work, they’re simultaneously a series of images connected together by the unified style solution. The represented series of prints, on the one hand, has a clear graphic drawing reminding about the kaleidoscope images and, at the same time, associates with the crystalline molecular lattice ordering which is proper for the solid substances such as stones, for example. On the other hand, random patterns and color transitions of every single element in each print remind about the minerals with their fancy play of colors and textures.

Entered the 10 best in the contest Heimtextil Russia

Entered the 10 best in the contest Heimtextil Russia

    My work was highly appreciated by the jury of the annual Heimtextil Russia Award – the best 10 works. And will be presented at an exhibition  International Trade Fair for Home Textiles, Floor Coverings and Interior Furnishings Heimtextil Russia in Moscow on September 18-20. My project “Urban Stories”. The collection about a city, about the feeling of a city, about citizen emotions. Relax/Recharge trend A modern big city: houses that reflect the sky and scratch it. A city turns red and blue sunset into digital pixels, seeking to subdue the freedom of the sky, to swallow the energy of blue and to relax in the rays of red, to regulate the grandiose natural chaos.   Perfect Imperfection trend The texture of felt wool, color finger-stains, the old technology of manual labor, all of it is imperfect as everything natural and alive. But this asymmetry, curvature, slight inaccuracy evokes the image of millions of good hands, the feeling of an urban coziness and a perfect harmony.   Soft Minimalism trend The abstract forms of muted soft shades are universal. Simple elegance of the city’s geometric shapes and brushed texture of the brush strokes create the image of an inhabited locality map.   Adapt + Assemble trend The flatness of a bright palette is supplemented by the cheerful cityscapes – cats, created with several strokes of black on white.   Urban Oasis trend A city is almost entirely made of glass and concrete but nature is a strong element: plants punch through the paving stones, simple unpretentious flowers-weeds please the eye and causing the nostalgia for a wild forest....

Monotype on dense silk fabric

Monotype on dense silk fabric

Very small theoretical part. Monotype was born a long time ago (in 17th century). This print’s brother was born presumably by an Italian artist and graver Giovanni Castiglione. In theory, this technique is quite simple, like many other art ones as well. A person daring to try it should manually paint the image on any smooth surface (a glass, for example), and then, transfer the image on the paper using gravity, the force that very useful on Earth (I guess, Giovanni used a special machine with the heavy press for it). This technique refers to print ones. However, its feature that slightly depressing modern copiers is that the final image is unique in its kind. That means you cannot print a bunch of similar posters with this technique. Nevertheless, you can do many other things. Like, for instance, develop your own or your children’s imagination. By the way, the imagination is very important thing in life. It can save you not only from boredom but also from different brain diseases in old age. In fact, monotype is a very romantic technique similar to a summer day, soft and green forest outskirt and a picnic. This because in childhood (and some persons during the entire life), many people love to view the clouds guessing what it looks like. The monotype gives the opportunity to do this useful deed at home and in professional art studio as well (the second option is surely much more convenient and gives better results, but not so romantic when you sprinkling the paint around your cozy kitchen and driving away your ubiquitous and all involved cats and dogs at the same time). Unexpectedly, the amazing creatures and worlds are very often born from mixing colorful spots. Downpours, snowfalls and landscapes get perfectly. Abstract works based on color harmony love this technique too. Monotype helps a lot to psychologists who work in art therapy programs. As for our master class (after such an introduction, you have to agree that its utility is indisputable), it will be focused on curious adaptation of this technique for printing unique images on fabric. What to do with these images is for our decision. You can, let us say, use it in other funny technique called felting. Actually, the idea of the master class originated from a question: “How did these slippers and such a handbag turn out?”   И вот как. And that’s how. Chapter 1 (the most extensive one). Preparing. We are at home and we got the reactive monotype (you will understand why “reactive” below). Therefore, we need to prepare the work place: to cover the table by plastic film, to take everything you need, to stock up on rags and put an apron on. What you need: The smooth surface. It could be a glass or some other smooth thing like plastic, plexiglas or even printing film at the worst. Paints and the surface where you can mix them (palette or porcelain saucer, for example). We will work with tissue, so we need acrylic paints on fabric. They can be liquid (about like water) and not so liquid (let us say, like 15% sour cream). We can use both. It depends on what exactly we want to portray. The liquid paints are suitable for abstract images and...

“Uncertainty of consciousness” collection of prints

“Uncertainty of consciousness” collection of prints

    In modern world of huge diverse flow of constantly improving and degrading information, the abstract shapes are especially relevant. It’s like the boiling mountain river where you can’t see anything concrete but fleeting images. Uncertainty caused by variability of external and inner worlds is perfectly fits into the appropriate symbolism. And this uncertain symbolism makes you stop, peer and think about. The conditions of incomprehensibility, variability, randomness and duality are close to the modern man because they form the structure of his personality. Just like the clouds hiding associative images, so this collection of prints bewitches and focuses the attention causing the variety of emotions. You can simply relax, defocus your eyes and/or think about the images you can see in rhythmical repetition of geometrical shapes. “Uncertainty of consciousness” collection of prints shows to the viewers their individuality because everyone sees and feels in his own manner. Comparing our feelings we can make sure another time in diversity of forms of perception and, at the same time, in their commonality between people of different cultures. You could vote here:...
