Andrew Belle
 

I want to show one more in my opinion interesting artist from St. Petersburg --
Andrew Belle.

 Andrew Belle lives in a ragged rhythm: anchorite then disappears for months at his country house - the studio, then leads a secular life - hangs in numerous get-togethers and he arranges them in their own islands, and it will fly away and with your friends - A. Makarevich, A. Rosenbaum and others - in the most exotic countries, diving. But not only those defined by the rhythm of his life. As an artist, Bella traveling in time. Actually, doing the same diving - sailing on a timeline, making his way among the weeds, raking his hands sand drifts, looking for something different, unique, and only he needs. Actually, the subject of navigation - a kind of optics, the nature of vision, watching the situation. I think Bella managed to implement this setting plastic: in his work relationship with the subject does not always line up directly. There is always a sense of "through", the presence of a certain optical plan, refracting the image and does not allow to enter with him into direct contact. This happens with a female character Bella - a multi-year series, in fact, amounted to his name. Woman Belle "- this, of course, femmefatale, without reference to findesiècle can not get along. However, the direct stylization, however. The presence of optical lens provides a temporary break in a special form. Writes A. Etkind, "the symbolism of making the materials of the deep levels and altered states of consciousness, as it had previously remained outside of culture: snovidnye, meditative, narcotic, hypnotic, protologicheskie. I think Bella has found an adequate form of not only these states of consciousness, how our ideas about them. Precisely, one suggestion of mystery, danger and temptation, which in our pragmatic age is difficult to resist.

I do not see it glamor.
Some kind of subtle expression (or refinement in the expression of :) ") - yeah, maybe.

Possible and certain mannerisms some public works - so, too, somewhere.

But the "glamor" Now, in my opinion, quite another name.

For me, the glamor is something bright , glossy , pop and light-hearted . By Andrei Bella associated more with cracked, fog , narcotic and a bit of Klimt :) > Color- refined, the composition - adjusted , express moderate . ( rather it is the expression of a compressed spring )
In short , everything in moderation , and the presence of some " wormhole " adds the necessary characters personality .

That this is just not.
All the characters - are the same.
I certainly would say that it is generally a single model, but the character in her I saw.
And is perceived as a mannequin.
Although it is stylish, the interior of a pair of hanging - normally.

I mean individual facial features, recognition.
Example is St. Petersburg's also an artist Bella Matveeva.
It seems like, but still distinguished women from the Women's Bella Matveeva not leave work.

Truth no character ...
... Just listen : it was my love . Sweetheart from me, woman . I dislocated my leg a month was not working , she married another man . Oh! Plot ! ... Or take another case : the aunt in the Eagle last year I went . Well , was , I went to the store . Lay down on a bench to take a nap , wake up - not hours , drab overcoat whistled ! Oh! Plot ! The plot ? Yes ?! ( a ) :D >

Magnificent episode of "I Step Through Moscow" by Vladimir Basov.

In our case, in the subject.

I remember the price by his stuff in the early 2000's, the third year, fourth, somewhere in that time.

Very good his stuff being sold and, with respect to those prices - enough for the expensive.
