icon of carving on wood 100%hand made on the form of contemporary art of the size of okolo40na30sm signatures nowhere nothing more than wood or covered.

This is modern art.

where the same opinion?

What do you want to hear, if it is a modern work.

reriks, but not offended. Maybe someone will undertake to susalkoy and other work. Must be nice to receive something.

To write a good icon - the faith needed.
As, however, and for the manufacture of carved icons.
To kitsch faith is not necessary.
So this is my opinion.

Who are susalka and what kitsch?

ICON is not you, not Icon.
A wood carving.
Simply thread.
Has no relation to the icon.
On the difference between a long story.
Yes and no good.

The church is light and prayer are the image of an icon, not worse than printing, in my opinion. If the icon is a religious position, not with art criticism, for example.
Curious, there is a carved icons and mosaics, paintings (paintings, with a narrow-minded point of view) and sculpture.

And yet.

Well, the icon image.

This is an image?

Image.

But it Icon?

Well, you can stretch to say: sculptural icon, but icon is an icon, she has a special status, so to speak.

As prices for contemporary carved icons, you can say one thing: it does not cost anything, if there is no buyer, and can cost thousands of 2-3, if a wealthy buyer will love it.

Here the question soon in another: how much is the buyer?

Well, yes: board, of canvas, gesso, tempera, linseed oil ... This is a "special status", so to speak?

Oh.
The nature of imagery on the other.

Icon - is not a picture.

I've already heard from you. And even asked you twice:

In determining the status of the icon you are not right ... And how would you assign to that in Western Ukraine there was a tradition to paint icons on glass or on canvas or embroidered icons from the beads, or simply embroidered with a cross ...... how to count you think this icon or not ...

Unfortunately I can not now put the photo ..

Pecheneg, add that before you write (or have the intention only) icon, many trails were, from the blessing that many days of fasting. For inspiration, the last written exclusively for religious meaning of the icon. According to another and can not acquire.
