Exhibition Artist Profile
The four artists participating in this exhibition are all Russian meritorious artists, including former Soviet artists.
One of Dorov Valen's representative works
Dorov Valian is not only an artist of both eras, but also a Ukrainian artist and the Academy of The Russian Academy of Arts, which can be said to be highly qualified. Because of this, his oil paintings are no stranger to China, because his painting style has a typical "Su Pai" style. And of course, Dorov Valian has also been innovative in his language, picturesquely integrating more feelings, adding my lyrical color, and so on. It can also be seen from this that generations of Russian artists were looking for breakthroughs based on their traditions. This is similar to the late-year change method of many generations of Chinese oil painters.
One of the representative works of Andrey Kovalchuk
Andrey Kovalchuk, the current president of the Russian Artists Association, is mainly engaged in sculpture creation, and his works have a solid foundation of realism. He transformed this styling kung fu into the shaping of historical objects, animals and plants, which can be described as a wonderful song. Interestingly, Andrei Kovalchuk also carved many Chinese figures. For example, the portrayal of Xu Beihong not only accurately grasps the shape of the object, shows the inner nature of Xu Beihong, and provides me with an exotic vision of Chinese artists, from which we can also see Andrei Kovalchuk's deep feelings for China.
One of Yevgeny Romashko's masterpieces
Evgeny Romashko's oil paintings are also based on the traditional technique of the "Soviet School", throwing the brush to the present, depicting the beautiful scenery of the Russian land. The expansion of his painting style lies in the fact that he alienates the macro narrative, combines the color texture with the ordinary scenery, cuts the landscape painting theme from the microscopic degree, and shows us the magnificent northern picture scroll. At the same time, Evgeny Romanshko's enhancement of the realism of his paintings made him even more intrinsically textured on the basis of the traditional "Supai" style.
One of Kurazov Sergey Vladimirovich's masterpieces
Kurazov Sergei Vladimirovich is both an art critic and an artist and designer, and this pluralistic identity has made his thinking more active and his horizons broader. Therefore, although his paintings are based on the "Su School" style, they are far away, and whether they are artistic concepts or painting styles, they all absorb the elements of European and American expressionism. Such as language begins to detach from the object, gradually to abstraction; such as color drive to subjectivization, become more pure, and so on. However, behind his rough and unrestrained paintings, there is still a strong Russian spirit, and it is only Kurazov Sergei Vladimirovich who has injected this spirit into Expressionist paintings, thus giving Expressionism a Russification character.
