    "Fire Walk With Me"
    painting

            Eye burns. Form glow. Consciousness of burns. Eye contact burns. And everything that occurs on the basis of visual contact, experienced as pleasure, pain or neither pleasure nor pain, burning, too. Burning in some fire? Burning in the flames of passion, aversion to heat, the fire delusion. Glows, I tell you, in the fire of birth, aging and death in the fire of sadness, crying, pain, grief and despair.
            Buddha. The fiery sermon.
                                       
    Moscow artist Andrei Volkov in the last ten years has been researching red - associated with it a symbolic number, its expressive power, the physical properties of paints. Range from orange-cadmium red and purple to kraplaka became his natural habitat and determine the properties of plastic authoring system.
    Using traditional materials of oil painting, he achieves a glossy, almost "mirror" surface quality of the canvas. This allows work to be not just a passive object of observation, but also to interact with their environment, "the character of the place, offering viewers multiple options to its perception.

    The new project "Fire Walk With Me" - a tribute special, "flaming" the essence of red, was realized in a series of paintings, objects written in 2010.
    As one of the tasks was to create a single semantic space, almost all things were created by taking into account the architectural features of the picture that makes the project more installation than a traditional exhibition, consisting of a series of individual works.
    The name, referring to David Lynch, was born out of one of his main ideas - things are not what they seem; Andrei Volkov believes this statement in full relating to their work.

Exhibition liked. :)
At the opening, many talked about the emotional, sensual nature of the work. Red-the color of fire, but in the works of Andrei Volkov, he is not associated with anxiety, fear or aggression. Rather, it plyaschuschie in the fire flames, immersing us in a state of calm and detachment. Such a "cold fire". Canvases have a glossy, in some studies almost mirror-like surface and looking at the work we see in them himself, standing in the red outbursts. The effect is interesting, you can literally enter into the picture ":) I'm having the association with Bill Viola and his video installations with fire.

I apologize for the quality, the photographer out of me to say the least not very :shy:
