Remember! In 1994, the book even came out O. Kozlova "Photorealism", publishing house "Galart.

There just are these artists Basile, Volkov, Geta, Gorokhovskiy, Keskkyula, sprat, Kichigin, Hovsepian, Petrov, Tammik, Faibisovich, Shablavin, Sherstyuk. And it Sherstyuk I do not understand for the same reason that Faibisovich.

I think an artist working in photo-realism, that explores the fine line that separates reality from art. You look in the mirror and see only the reflection of the real world. Minutes to watch five minutes of looking, looking at five o'clock, and suddenly the number of passes in the quality, op-pa-and you're through the looking glass! When an artist redraws the picture, it adds something intangible, which is not in the original image. Slightly brighter the color in one place, just a dim light in another, something else and not having much sense in a piece of alien life is extended, blends with many pieces of your life and, therefore, is endowed with meaning. In my opinion, just empowering sense of meaninglessness and a goal in this case. Add-and appropriation of another's privacy, creating a sense of community and ownership. When you look at the field photography, see the "strange", picture impenetrable. A picture invites "enter".

Painters fotorealisty and Visionary artists are moving in opposite directions. Fotorealist piece of real-life attempts to generalize, to put "over" life, where something even mistizirovat. Visionary contrary, seeks to present the dreams and fantasies as an entity. No wonder in this art gipertrofirovanaya chiaroscuro and a lot of the details of calling to convince the viewer is not a figment of the imagination of the artist is a reality.

You expressly poetiziruete srisovyvanie with photos. Tell me, art fotorealisty not hide the fact that the increased use of pictures or is it done behind the scenes, such as the use of doping in athletes: applying, but not caught - so do not apply.

Interview with Simon Faibisovich (22.01.2008)
-------------------------------------------------- --
Simon, and you have something planned from the category of personal exhibitions in the near future?

- You know, in principle planned, but now I have orders to keep quiet about it in a rag - in connection with the fact that before this auction is Philips, which falls out a lot of my work - the old, from the collections, this resonance of the previous auction. Generally, this is a way to kill the artist, the most famous - to throw a lot of work and bring down these prices. It seems to be that Philips does not have in mind, but objectively, in late February, exposed eight of my works, that is an entire solo exhibition. Philips understands that we must somehow mobilize collectors, and brings part of the exhibition here, before the auction - to show.

- Simon, but what happens inside a man when his work starts to cost half a million dollars?

- I do not know. It's ridiculous.

- is absolutely healthy attitude.

- Well, what - if I got half a million of these, I would probably be nervous. And so it is from the collection for sale. Well, it's nice, yes.

- But what was associated with a long break away from painting?

Thank you, tasha, for a very interesting explanation. Your text shows you as a person who knows how to look inside themselves. This quality is truly creative person. I'm nice that you write exactly what the feel and realize themselves. I agree with you all except that the fine which yield fotorealisty in their works can not be achieved in conventional photography. Sami fotorealisty no secret of his method, and even emphasize the fact that its essence is precisely in the fact that the maximum accuracy to copy photograph. To quote an excerpt from the book Gantry OT "Photorealism" (Moscow, Galart, 1994):

"... If you still try to summarize the most important principles of their method, it will, perhaps, the following text -" symbol of faith "fotorealista:
- Human art of the late 20 th century after the temptations of pointless and conceptual art inevitably returns to the figurative, scene painting. To this return was not commonplace, the artist must avoid already passed the art of "realistic stamps.
- As modern man fotorealist becomes dependent on whether the visual material that surrounds it, from the environment saturated with visual information. Photography, film, television, reproduction, advertising - this is The Draw culture largely impress immediate reality, nature as such. To ignore such a powerful impact artist can not, but he can use it - to make this "second nature" and a hero, and an instrument of his art.
- Creating a picture, artist based on photographs, slides, reproductions, not only to simulate as closely as possible nature, and often with a desire to show the world already "missed" a camera lens. For him, photography is the subject of an equally real and important as reality itself. This - feature all the modern consciousness, often, when a reproduction of a snapshot of more convincing than what they depict.
- Fotorealist believes: technical means are able to convey the world undeformed. The artist does not trust his vision - it is selective, and approximately. Photography is fairly and accurately.
- New superrealnoe art should be created antitraditsionnymi means. photographs, slides transferred to canvas and are reproduced in detail. To get rid of the picturesque and remove strokes inflicted hand, the artist works-airbrush-paint, stencil, high-gloss acrylic.
- Large format - that's the only thing that should distinguish the picture as the final result of the original photo. And it gives rise to the enormous size of the viewer with a vague suspicion - in the film feels a certain absurdity, hidden meaning, a subtext. In fact, a visual document, reproduced pictorial means, acquires a new formal shell, but also semantics. When you copy photos (even if absolute and objective), a new meaning, beyond the reality of the image is connected with the detachment. In general, the aesthetics of photo-realism, this art is the end of the technological age, offers a way of interpreting contemporary issues of concern in their own way understands life ... "

I would only add that a huge amount of work with modern technologies is not a problem. It turns out that with the development of technical progress in the method no longer need. Fotorealistam no longer required to redraw the canvas slide in large size, it can be done using conventional photo technology.

Book of photorealism:

Uncle Faibisovich! I was wrong. We Faibisovich something to eat. I also had the idea to make a demonstration, but did not work, but so well documented. And in general, his works contain canned food time, and he bought me some sausage in the state were still queuing for a delicacy, where else could afford to buy 5 kg of the world's best sausage. That's how we lived. Now sausage etc.. Bad, and worth - eshte themselves.
As for millions, I think this is an illusion. In England, 50%tax and interest-prodavalschiku, stuchalschiku, friend and customs. Maybe thousands of 10 and will remain, but hardly ...

Paul, you are an adult man, the more "artist" do not have to be rude and ernichat ..

I'm completely serious. I looked thought and came to the conclusion that quite well.

1987. travel was in Moscow. My friend, writer, journalist Semyon Livshits, suggested going to visit, I am not familiar artist S. Faibisovich. He arranged a meeting, but could not come, and I went to one of the guests. We sat with the artist viewed his paintings, drank and talked about art. My first impression of his paintings, was a disappointment, I did not take the pictures drawn by the endless bottles (sitting at home on Maroseika, and had little pictures), but when they started, really was having and he began explaining to me, I gradually realized that I was dealing not with an ordinary artist and a person who was not so easy to understand, and need a special level of knowledge and understanding of painting, to penetrate into his art. This meeting was decisive for my future collectibles.
So, dear forum users, artists must speak with respect, tolerance and without malice.
