In addition, the artist spoke about some paintings in the exhibition. Special impression on the audience made the story of a thunderstorm in the Ustyurt plateau in Kazakhstan, which served as the subject for the painting "Night lightning over Ustyurt." This picture looks like an absolutely fantastic product - intense purple color contrast, many "tentacles" of tornadoes, flying balls rolling stones, dazzling white lightning, a herd of crazed saiga, racing Neznamov where. And a black cat in the bushes, which does not bode well.
The artist says that the painting - on the contrary, it is realistic. In these deserts sometimes happen terrible dry thunderstorms. Night due to high air electrification people there is an overwhelming sense of anxiety and dread. Small animals find no place, and small birds are dying of heart failure. The air is quiet. Not a stir. However, after some time, clear desert stars begin to disappear one by one, in rising from the horizon in the pitch blackness. And then suddenly swooped furious wind, the world turns into a huge lightning lit hell in which dozens of tornadoes are worn on the ground, and the balls are flying tumbleweeds jumps in the tens and hundreds of meters in a mad rage. Animals flee in terror, and the people in fear pressed to the ground. According to legend, before the scourge of the travelers coming from the desert a little black kitty. And even if you had a cat, then beware! God forbid, if it becomes the flippers to you. Then no one can guarantee that you will see the sunrise! The picture is devoted to debunking the human swagger and claims to omnipotence. Nature has not yet said its last word. And it should not be encouraged to say the word yet - this is the plot of the picture.
