Tao! Weightless, invisible, immense bird!
 It is everywhere, anywhere, in you and me
Then drop the celestial wing, then invent stories,
Again, take off, leaving a trace in the soul.
And you do not live as everything,
When ever know about it.
Tao! Eternal light in the darkness,
Quench it, day and night, life accompanies.
If you do not understand what it means
Get lost among the concerns of the earth,
The soul is alive and crying,
In the world of darkness goes away without illumination of the saints.
 

***
 In the vast expanses of the universe live
Where the Earth - just a particle.
Mind up, like a bird flying
Understand where the boundary of the abyss.

Mighty anthems heard everywhere,
Sounds of rushing from heaven gave.
The waves of time out there, here and elsewhere,
Hidden secrets in various forms of miracles.

All twisted, all zavercheno,
Whirlwinds of thoughts curled into a ball.
In the infinite chaos of all foreordained.

George N. always fond of philosophy. But as an artist, he is always searching for her beauty. And the understanding of beauty in Taoism was especially close to his nature. He was not one-sided, to religiosity, a fan of this doctrine. He perceived it as very ancient, wise, nenazoylivy way to understand this huge world. Tao, in translation - the path that is defined by any entity in nature, whether human, Earth, Universe. He can not resist, he can only follow. Taoism originated in China in the 5.3 cc. BC. er. in those days, when human consciousness is not split your mind works on science, religion and art. Some phrases Taoist treatises and fascinate the modern reader: "Tao of vague and uncertain, but in this nebula and the uncertainty of hidden things. It is vague and uncertain, but in this nebula and uncertainty lurk images. It is dark and deep, but in the darkness and depth are tiny particles that have high certainty and authenticity of "poetic reflection combined here with the scientific apprehension, materialism - with religious worship. Somehow, the "divine intuition" ancient Taoists knew infinity of the universe and what we call an atom. They understood that the movement - the inherent property of the world, and carry this motion are two opposing forces of "yang" and "yin".

[SPOILER] A thought on the merits - an abstract thing, and its implementation need an image. Developed creative thinking and undivided concepts in ancient China created a unique culture, Taoist and Confucian treatises, and later, in the Middle Ages - synthetic art "venzhenhua" which blends art, philosophy and poetry.
Studying ancient Taoist texts, and Chinese monochrome painting of George N. Reminisce philosophy of vision, which helped him discover his own creative potential. He found her in the same way as Schliemann discovered its Troy! George N. just believe the ancient texts of The Lay of paintings from the garden with a grain of mustard seed, and the work of the old Chinese masters looked with new eyes. He saw, perhaps, what is called the first law of Ce Xe. In "The Lay of painting ..." The authors cite six laws of classical painting masters Xie He. The most difficult to understand contemporary researchers found the first one. Only the translations of his on the European languages, there are about two dozen! For example: "spiritual rhythm of living movement" or "echoes the spirit, which means vitality, etc. Moreover, the authors' words ... ", the possession of the first law is inherent in the artist from birth, and other laws and can comprehend. What is this mysterious law? More precisely it is formulated in the catch phrase, owned by Su Shih: "To write a bamboo, you must first create the image of the soul."

Or - in the famous formula of creative Wang Wei: "The idea there before hand." Artists-intellectuals of the time before taking a paintbrush in hand, should have been a long time to study the nature, waiting for the moment "osiyaniya" when he was the living image, through which are made known to the object. This is a very special act of creative vision!
George N. guessed that the direct value "echo the spirit and concept praobraza, and the right ideas, which lays in his masters' venzhen.

In the Palace Museum Taipei kept the true picture of Guo Xi Early Spring ". On the vertical silk scroll depicts a giant mountain range, river bottom. George N. was familiar with her only on reproduction. But even in the reproductions he saw as a land-wave, surface-to-bear, the land-tortoise drinking water and water-cat ate the earth, the water-pig undermine the riverbank. Mount dragon lifted his head to the sky. How expressive that head! How do you want this monster fly! And, finally, rises above all this world-mountain ruler, but maybe a mountain-sage or hermit. Or maybe the artist himself, the courage, raised himself in his creation! It is not many, apparently, to give this vision, only the elite.

What a deep and powerful sense becomes an old picture for the review! Who looked at her, to George N.? Anyway, in the literature have never met such an analysis of ancient Chinese painting. This vision, of course, - the opening, and such a discovery, of course, could not affect the creation of the George N.. Moreover, it has turned all of his worldview.

But it's not even important.
Experts and analysts are painting Sung period in China, shared all the artists on the skill level in six categories, "ping". The highest category was "and" - "ipin".
Works of Class "and" - "soar", contrary to all conventional, commonplace, they reached the top of the beautiful. Quality "and" means a direct expression of the soul artist and a deep understanding of the embodied images. The artist above all, even the most perfect rules and regulations. This - the pure spirit, the act committed by a person who know the essence - the Tao - painting. Art in this class - the personification of the first law Hsieh Ho. "(EV Zavadskaya) Compliance in this category, Chinese artists have sought within the framework of their traditions of naturalism, naturalism with cosmic phantasmagoria. Water dissolves, devours the earth, the earth is fed by water, mountains emerge from the fog and try to heaven. Perpetual change, perpetual motion, perpetual desire to transformations of the world!
The ability to distinguish living symbol depicted; say about the global means of simple things: one color ink, brush, paper, make it so that was understandable only to initiates - is an indicator of skill and subtlety of intellect artist, but the pall of mystery and their art.

Unwittingly taking on the baton "venzhen, George N. absolutely not sought to surround his work an aura of mystery. On the contrary, he generously shared his "knowledge" with fellow artists, but unfortunately, he failed to find like-minded people who would divide with him the joy of such art. And now he is gone, the mystery and settled in his watercolors.
Spirit - a favorite word of George N.. Catch, catch the spirit of nature, events, phenomena, to bring it into our material world - was his first priority. He had not painted the landscape "with nature", he had his "see" filled with impressions, to understand the image of the place, its lively start. Pay attention to his earlier work "The Great Ustyug," which he brought back from his trip to the Russian North in 1979. She - a noble, full of aching love for the Russian architecture. The roughness of the paper creates a feeling of waving smoke a rainy morning. And through the haze of the images make their way Russian architect, the weary warrior, screaming fool, other troubled faces. The city might be living his secret life. It is that "the ability to see, which always said George N..

Another work of the same time - "Dandelions Sol-Vychegda, continues its saga of the Russian North. Dandelions are hovering like a huge planet, each filled with dewdrop reflects different lives. And through this riot of look through these little, tiny Russian cathedrals. The thought occurs: how often are vulnerable, as touching even the most majestic creations of human hands in the face of nature, common dandelion.

But then George N. goes on! Search for a new performance technique coincided with the search for some fleeting soul. His creative thinking and vision beyond the reality. Work in recent years have become important centers for plastic images, flowing, penetrating, transforming into each other. Falling water, of evaporation from the earth, the sky quirks and paradoxes of human lives and beliefs led him to "figurative" knowledge, his phantasmagoria. He is trying to develop a "painting of poets and wise men" in his new capacity.
Such a merger, the synergies of contemporary watercolor techniques with ancient philosophy of imaginative vision, he called briefly - sindaosizm, feeling a deep emotional connection of his work with the Taoist culture.

Watercolor - main love of his life, his element! He brilliantly mastered the technique. George N. did not like to work with oil, although his artistic legacy remains, and such work. He thought oil static material: how to put a dab, so he lies. How difficult is it to work in watercolor! It flows, is absorbed into the paper, sometimes behaves unpredictably. While working for a living paint it a bright, catchy, and after drying - "sit", the color becomes fainter.

And all of this artist must feel to predict. On the other hand, the unpredictability of the material has its own magic, plays into the hands of the artist provokes his imagination. George N. fantastically able to capture this magic and to manage it. He said he faked the picture, done in oils, it is possible, watercolor - never! He had a complicated technique: watercolor on wet "with elements of monotype. Net monotype can give beautiful effects, but it is - meaningless. And Georgi Nikolayevich everything was subordinated to one - the main idea!
In addition, he was Fibber, an experimenter. Constantly invent different ways of working with paint. Let them remain secret masters. Each sheet is not soaked by one, not two. Witchcraft committed recklessly and freely, confidently! He liked to get it to work "sniffed" pestered with questions: "Old man, how did you do that?" And if it happened - there were no limits Fortunately the artist! In one book it is not possible to show all the works of George N.. But even that is represented here, see how he is constantly searching for, develops, changes. How bright colors sounded at the beginning of his career! He reveled in color, experimenting with color. He made giant meter works, overcoming technical difficulties. And as concise as refined, it became the end of life, income, sometimes to a complete monochrome.

"Echoes of the Spirit" "venzhenhua" in most cases had a zoomorphic form. This was the influence of Taoist philosophy, asserted the unity of man and nature as a guarantee of fruitful work. Su Shih in his work on the painting of bamboo, said: "Only then beris the brush when concentrate on what you want to portray. Following this way, begin to work with a brush - if you see the bird swooping like a hare escapes. If you linger for a moment, everything disappears. " Human types of the "echoes of the spirit" if they appear, are always the overriding, dominant nature: the mountain-sage, mountain-giants, opposing winds, the mountain-guardian of a small village. Man, as an entity can not withstand the Tao, but he - the only entity that can imitate him, creating his own world.

"Spirits" George N., mostly anthropomorphic and serve the same purpose as the Chinese - glorify the human spirit! Even when the artist turns to the very tragic things he eschews shock effects, storylines. Bunches of images, acquiring a symbolic meaning, an attempt to express his understanding of human crimes and human achievement.
Very often in the works of George N. arises theme of refugees. Probably because his parents, his people survived the terrible tragedy of resettlement from the Far East 1936-1937 period. Mentally, he more than once to try on this situation when you are forcibly removed from their homes and transported in dirty cars in the area, unsuitable for life. His diptych "Refugees" is a symbol of the tragedy. Look at the person, similar to Jesus, who waved their hands to protect their loved ones from this horror, "Exodus", at his mother with a candle in his hand, which is shining for their children, lest they get lost in this nightmare.

There are dozens of images that are closer to each other as the train freight car, grow into each other in a common destiny. And finally - the people standing on the shore of another green ocean and crying my heart, crying terribly about his lost homeland. This - "Red Beach". Probably no one who in life was his "Red Beach" will not be able to pass safely by the two small watercolors. About the Holocaust so much written and discussed. George N. left a symbol of this terrible tragedy. In the closed circle of swastikas and barbed wire, all-consuming black hole spins and takes into oblivion a thousand lives, sucking all the new doomed souls. But the power of love, strength, sacrifice, tears, this infernal circle of light image of a pregnant woman. Or, see how proud and arrogant eagle, a symbol of U.S. wounded in the heart, yells after departing souls perished in the terrorist attack humans (11, USA).

Images, images! Practically, no one blank work! Each landscape is a latent, delicately woven into encrypted in the beginning. And "In the beginning was the word", ie - the idea. "Moonlit Night" staring at you alarming red eyes lurking beast. "Birch Grove" keeps a half-erased the faces of Russian saints. Birch melteshenie creates the illusion of chipped plaster, through which with difficulty, but can still be seen dying frescoes. Trunks of birch trees, like strangers, like a ghostly monks in white robes, surrounded by Lost in Time cathedrals.

Landscapes in Korea - a special line of his work. For all the trying to stylize a national Korean painting, George N. retained his depth perception, philosophical look at things in a seemingly ordinary landscapes.
Caught ladle goldfish and dreams of a young man in the pavilion, connected by a common theme - the way the girl read by a bent over an arbor tree. ("Meditation") "Rocks" - a two profiles of male and female, people-rock survivors together and wind storms, dreaming of a quiet bay.

George N. was very fond of the city where he was born and lived his entire life. He has created his Samarkandi, is not such as to all. He was always trying to understand the ancient monuments, "see" their deep-seated, sacred meaning. Not without reason, such cosmic concepts of time, eternity, space, he embodied in the images of his hometown. He tightened Chopon-Ata heights in its Taoist spiral. Bizarre hills Afrasiab had woven from images of their ancestors. He sang the national anthem of Samarkand cake, putting it in the heart of the city, the Registan. Tortilla - the same essential attribute of Samarkand, as well as all its monuments. Say, tried to bake the same cakes for the same recipe, from the same meal, in other places. And the taste of me anyway. Apparently, the very air, water itself is very special city.

The eternal city of Georgy Nikolayevich lives, really, in Eternity, detached from all worldly things and small.
His creative legacy remains a large collection of small miniature watercolors made in 2001-2002. Last creative burst of the master! Each of them - the great mystery. Deciphering these puzzles, you feel the powerful thought energy that is contained in them. In ancient Chinese philosophy there is no concept of material and spiritual: each thing is inseparable from the inner living essence.

There is a thin concept of substance, "chi", which, in unity and struggle of two of their opposites "yantsi" and "intsi" It creates things and destroys them into components, from which again creates a new one. Circulation of things in nature. This constant dynamics of life, the Tao is embodied in the later works of George N. in a variety of transformations. Small fish in a different visual perspective into a turtle. Butterfly, wings outstretched luxury, suddenly reveals the subtle silhouette of a girl. Fallen maple leaf is literally dotted with the likeness of the temple murals. The moon and moonlight come alive in his watercolors in the images of flying fairies, or walking on water monk. Bush tumbleweed - a whole life of the old Kazakh in the red hat. The depths of the sea, mountain ranges - a fantastic Mysterious Worlds. Free images soar, soar, reincarnated in different forms and embody the highest degree of freedom of spirit and creative freedom. Yet to study and comprehension of the vast fantasy world of his small watercolors.

This is something that came George N. end of life. Perhaps this is also symbolic. "Big is a small, small - large." The reader probably noticed that, presenting you with Georgy Nikolayevich, this writer speaks exclusively to the spiritual, emotional side of his creativity. Judge about his professional qualities, I leave with you, art historians, artists, art lovers. But who would not say that, obviously, George N. lifted the art of watercolor to new heights of quality. And he had another passion, no less absorbing its addicting nature. This, of course, netsuke. He brought stones from their creative journeys to Sakhalin, in the Ob River, from the Fan Mountains. He hauled sacks of clay with pieces of fossilized ancient canal Dargom.

With maniacal tenacity he pecked, sawed, cut the stones. What force makes it hard to achieve something, something to look at a patient, non-profit work?

Write in art is something new in the traditional techniques in our time is very difficult. Therefore, most avant-garde artists are choosing new technologies. So it should be. And then, watercolor! What could be simpler? The first paint any child.
The uniqueness of Kim G. - in its singularity, as noted by many visitors. And not only - in technology, but also the very approach to the creative trotsessu.
Korean by birth, received a European education, spent her life in skazachnom Samarkand, absorbed in itself all the layers of different, diverse, amazing cultures, absorbed in his youth the art of medieval China, has created its mediated art. Timeless themes, timeless thoughts - the leitmotif and his paintings and his sculptures, and his poetry. We never find the answers to these eternal questions, but always and will always ask themselves and their world.
Eugene, thank you very much!

Three illustrations of the "Book of the mountains and rocks" from the cult of the Lay of paintings from the garden with a grain of mustard seed, three samples of the picturesque style of stones:
1. Li Chen
2. Wang Wei
3. Li Ssu-Hsun
These illustrations are so expressive that do not require special comments (Taoist stone, stone frog, a stone-lizard).
Confirmation that our eyes do not deceive us, we will find the text of the Book of mountains and rocks ":
"Writing neoduhotvorennye stones is unacceptable.
A writing inspired stones - means to find (in them)
            a subtle place where spirit dwells.
Nothing is more difficult "
The genius of Kim H. that he discovered the same secret code painting "venzhenhua, but more complex and profound in its structure than these training studies. And his creativity, he filled the hidden images, "spirits" that are gradually revealed to the inquisitive audience.

Three self-portraits in which the artist tried to capture not only the features of his face, how much - poetic vision of his own spirit, the three states of mind:
1) "I look at the mountains and the mountains looking at me.
For a long time since we looked, not bothering each other "-
http://moydao.ru/gallery/7.html
magnificent state of oneness with the world.
How I wish that the glow of a computer screen, kills the noble pearl luster of this work!
2) "Secret» - http://moydao.ru/gallery/6.html
state of painful love experiences, strikingly sincere and frank.
 Portrait of the Artist, in the upper right corner, did not immediately evident. He seemed to be covered by the first visual plan, which - two bare-chested, male and female. Amorous yearning comes from them. The greater the perceived suffering face of the artist. And as for a gentleman, as in the spirit of George N. - to hide the image of the woman! He is - here, he - is there, but not everyone see it!
3) "My fate» - http://moydao.ru/gallery/5.html
state moment of happiness and harmony.
This work - a double self-portrait.
First - visible, surrounded by loved woman and the mythical muse. Artist enthusiastically and gracefully ascended above the sea flowering apricot.
The second - a sad, nervous susceptible faint. He rooted his features in a pink haze.
Duality of feelings and impulses is not talking about the duality of the artist's personality and the complexity and ambiguity of his character.
The symbolic importance is the image of an old man in the upper right corner. George N. often told an interesting story from his childhood, once, on a hot summer afternoon, he saw an old man, cloudy white, in Korean white trousers with an uncovered head. With sincere astonishment he described as flying in still air of his long beard and mustache. This children's vision has influenced his work. The cult of the old man, the sage can be traced in many of his watercolor paintings and a small plastic.
 In this case - a ghostly old man as it unfolds and reads the scroll of destiny of the artist. And with it, the Artist thinking - what was his fate?

[мина77]

The art world we are fascinated not only the wealth of masterpieces, posted civilizations but also by how he "signs" brush contemporary artists. We have a great opportunity to see extraordinary works of the artist today, Kim George, who has left so many souls, thoughts, beauty and love in his work. His works are filled with a secret life, multilayer perception, depth of feelings. Create a sense of dialogue with the artist in the perception of his paintings - a gift from God! "Hear" the silence of his creations the same gift! Contemplate a "smart" beauty-brilliant! A color palette is so rich, subtle, pure and refined, that simply can not believe - WATERCOLORS! His work is worthy not only collectors, but a much larger number of art lovers. THANK YOU ALL! for the opportunity to touch eye and mind to the creativity of this, no one else like, super talented, great artist. SEE ALL and uplifting!

[Елена Ким]

Thank you very much for such a temperamental MINA77 support for the memory! How important it is for the artist, even when he's gone to his work brings joy, not been on the damp attic. Nobody ever counted how many worthy talents in the province was thrown in the trash because of the indifference of the immediate environment. Not everyone "Chistyakov" fortunate fall into the hands of his "Sawa Yamschikova.
I sometimes think that the audience is even less talented than talented artists. The more valuable the support of such unique personalities!

In the aesthetics of medieval Japanese art there is the concept of "Wheel of Dharma". Dharma - the principle of world unity, and the wheel of dharma - the cycle of material around a stationary center. Hokusai, for example, made such a significant center of Mount Fuji, spinning the changing world around it (from lectures on Japanese art Steiner ES)
   George N. wrote in the article "My Dao:
"Many times I tried to beat the topic of a giant spiral, which are somewhere behind the plane of the sheet, getting on the list, spinning in their bizarre twists the whole element, the sea, mountains, cities, worlds of human dreams and carried off all this would be the depth of the sheet to infinity. "
   Symbolism of such "infinity" are completely different things that embody a kind of permanence.
In the first paper - angular waves of time around the holy Mazar at heights Chupon-Ata, near Samarkand.
In the second, "Rhapsody" - the sound of music, bell-mouthed sound national Korean instruments, the rustling reeds, curling waves, blended into the faces of men and women in the Korean headgear.
In the third - in the center was a giant trilobite, forever fossilized in the rock piles of sea coast of Sakhalin Island.
