Nicoletta Chekkoli vs Gapchinskaya
 

Some time ago there was much debate about whether to accept or not the art work of Ukrainian artist Catherine Gapchinskoy. I'm not a fan of her work, paintings remind me more illustrations.

Imagine my surprise when, by chance on the Internet, I saw pictures of human figures look like this time sanmarinskoy artist Nicoletta Chekkoli (Nicoletta Ceccoli). I must confess that in the illustrations Nicoletta I see more talent. And the very history of art develop harmoniously. It is interesting to know your opinion.

Born in 1973 in the Republic of San Marino, where he lives and works, Nicoletta Chekkoli graduated from the State Institute of Art in Urbino, in the section animation. But dedicated herself to illustrate children's books, it iilyustratsii published more than 20 prominent Italian publishers (Mondadori, Fabbri, Arch, Fatatrak, St. Paul), and some foreign: England, Taiwan and Switzerland. His books have been translated in France, Korea, Mexico, Spain and the United States.

In 2001 she was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen, as the best artist of the year, and in 2002 his illustrations for Pinocchio, published by Mondadori received Award of excellence from Communication Art (USA). She participated in numerous exhibitions in Italy and abroad (Osaka, Tokyo and Bratislava). San Marino has produced three series of stamps dedicated to the rights of children for Christmas and the circus. A series of illustrations devoted to Christmas was awarded Cavallino d'oro Bolaffi author of the best original sketch of 2001.

Even some of her work

Ok, a few more pictures.

And we know whether the range of prices for work Nicoletta?

I'm pricing is unknown, although intuition tells me that they are not on such a "star" level, as in Gapchinskoy. In the News on offsayte have information about any public galleries of the exhibition that is taking place You can try to find out this way. Or write personally. My prices are not interested in her works, but if you know you share the information :)

Some are depressed.
And some terrifying headless girl with balls - cool.

What scared?
:D "What are we sensitive!
In fact, the photographs with ART MOSCOW 2010 frank nekrofilnoy horror much more.
Very strange that you have not noticed :confused:

Life is more terrible than any fictional stories:

 And what wonder? Who knows what the internet is - is there a lot more all vsyachiny.Segodnya is, gone tomorrow. And that for any kind of "Award of ..." - So this good head and share ...

Yes, not children, but by themselves are interesting.
While the book with pictures I would not have bought.
Something in their Victorian-sad is immediately reminded of Oliver Twist and "Black chicken" - perhaps the darkest book of our childhood :)

They can not be compared because illustration has its limitations, and we can not determine-Chekkoli itself imposes such restrictions or painting their places. Gapchinskaya-wrote the picture and when you watch them "live" in the gallery, then come to mind that befit when viewing pictures, for example: some of what I call "naive Dutch" is a very interesting synthesis, do not think that she was pursuing a specific goal, it creates images and transforms them into art (Chekkoli only masterfully transforms existing).

 In Chekkoli-identical faces, may issue, and may chip. In Gapchinskoy I do not like absolutely smooth texture patterns, which gives the cabin, but in my lost expression.

In general, if Chekkoli and paintings such as "rustic" as an illustration, then I vote for Gapchinskuyu in this battle :).

Fed, compare them and can and should be.

There are a couple of interesting points.
First, they are almost the same age: Nicoletta only a year older.
Secondly, the official biography Gapchinskoy can not find, found a couple of articles where she confused about himself. As she wrote in Repin's style, then she wanted to work manicurist worked galleristkoy and then began to paint at night, their sweeties.
Thirdly, it is hard to understand how we started "pupsikovy" period in Gapchinskoy ie can not be a natural evolution to move from Repin's style to that, especially as she says Gapchinskaya a period of complete lack of money. But the fact that this transition took place under the influence of another illustrator, who at that time already published and exhibited, it may well be.

I have the impression that not the same, they are made in one style, but the characters are different. Absolutely the same way as in Gapchinskoy.

Really entertaining, in those pictures that you showed me your amateur eye I saw at least 3 background famous masters, which placed Gapchinskaya kids. This is not fusion, but in a different :)

And you find: some "dark" story, all napridumano seriously because there is no point belongs.

Very similar to ... :D
