Konstantin Batynkov. Lives and works in Moscow. Acrylic paints on canvas. Photo: Cranes, 2008, Barricade 2008 and two works - Volcanoes 2008.
All his paintings were black and white. It is a time lived in the north, and at all the pictures reflect the colors of those places. The first two of the protest against construction of the historical center of Moscow, Luzhkov, high-rise buildings.

Go ahead. Nicholas Nasedkin "Geometry" 1991-2007. The work of the individual parts of cardboard, folded in a certain geometric succession and varnished.

Olga Chernysheva "Onions at this" 1997. b /w photographs. She photographed the window displayed on the bottle upside down with the onions - association with the domes of churches. (Sorry for the glare)

Alexander Gradoboev "hegemony" 2008. photo installation, each piece of photos under a separate glass. I only wonder was cut the whole picture, or every piece of printed separately? simply to assess the degree of effort))

Sergei Shutov. Left "Southern" right "Northern" 2008. because there are fighters that I did not immediately seen.

Vladimir Anselm, "Stone head" 2007, stuck together out of pieces of anthracite, in my opinion was on the Art-Moscow. And his second work "Reapers" 2007 is made into fabric.

Kirill Alexandrov "Gears" 2008. Object made of wood, bronze, and the motor. Some mechanism with a different thread, but the gears turning)) on the photo view from above.

Natalia Turnova portraits "Descartes" and "Gilles Deleuze" 2007. The original technique, vivid color and contrast just a few colors she manages to achieve such similarities. They say this lady is not capricious for years and often refuses to sell their work, arguing that they really like her and wants to leave himself.

But Cyril Chelushkina schedule, the project "Design Bureau" 2001. He paints with a pencil, graphite on plastic, without using rulers and other devices (!)

And finally, what I liked most:
Leonid Tishkov, "Virgin". Next you can look for visual creation of this work. This is all connected with the death of the mother of the artist. He did not throw her things, but instead he cut into strips of old clothes (dresses, etc.), rolled into balls and tied a huge sweater. And of buttons that his mother had collected in a special box (like many grandmothers in the Soviet times), decided to create an image of the Virgin. Buttons was so much, that was enough for the whole image, however, white buttons have to purchase, because they had the most. Buttons are glued, not sewn. The creation of this work took six months.

Well, that's all. Here are here whales in the harbor of modern art. Some notables are interested in whaling, and some will continue to swim in unknown waters.:)

Tamila,
Excellent photo report! Shutov promising and already the auction:)

"Southern" and "North" - as in the Soviet army liked to call the conditional warring factions in the military exercises. And here and there of us, why it is so neutral. I once again like the skull Anselm - alive he is very good. Tamila, thanks for the interesting report.

Shutov interesting.
About the skull can share a funny story. I just rested in Turkey, of course in the evenings a couple of times walked to the nearest rynochkam. On the subject of t-shirts and so on. My children are fans of skulls, so it's T-shirts drew such attention in the first place.
Cherepov lot of flavor but the Turks completely absent. All beaded skull and other stones and sequins. Horror. No one simply painted. I told them - "You show me a man's T-shirts!". They told me - "Here and again with pebbles, and even stretch. First time did not buy.
And this skull - nothing is normal.

So it's a fashionable way. Brilliant skulls on clothes just Hurst invented - along with Levi Strauss made a joint collection of denim clothing with skulls of sequins. So here as in "The Devil Wears Prada" about a pink blouse. To the Turks have started mass production need to Hurst's idea. Direct contact with art.

Who is interested in creativity Shutava useful to read the book "ACCA" Barabanov (http://forum.artinvestment.ru/showth...ighlight =????) and the last double issue of the journal "ArtChronika" (with Warhol and the Basques in boxing gloves on the cover). In ArtChronika - an overview of the festival "Assa" with decorations, memories, etc.

Not so long ago it became known that brilliant in every sense of the idea of Hirst finds its application in the new collection of jeans company Levi Strauss & Co. Hirst has become one of the designers of the collection of autumn 2008 with the speaker called Warhol Factory X Levi's X Damien Hirst. In jeans (like be improved 501 model) will be plotted recognizable skull rhinestones from Swarovski. According to some reports, jeans Damien Hirst will cost about $ 400. Projected prices for other items of the collection as follows: T-shirt - $ 100, jacket-dzhinsovka - $ 900. That is, everything will be about 10 times more expensive than in the usual, neavtorskom, performance. In general, work at the junction of the massive design and easy crossing of that border is a logical step by contemporary artists. Recall the Designs Sonia Delaunay, production art "avant-garde of the Amazons" Lyubov Popova and Varvara Stepanova (they developed the geometric designs for fabrics, working at First State printwork). At the hearing more pictures of the top ten most expensive young artists Takashi Murakami handbags for the prestigious Louis Vuitton (branded small icons that remotely resembles card suit - is his discovery). So developing the normal process of joining the art to the masses.

According to artprice.com, for six months, the price index of the British rock artist grew by 46%. For averaged statistics, $ 100 invested in its creation 10 years ago, has now turned into a 752 dollar.

How exactly the case when any art is not gone to the masses. And hence the question whether the art? So it will have nothing to wear. Before skulls got "scum.
  I recalled a funny episode from the world of fashion. One Metalist complained that even under socialism, "wanted" to get a leather cap (all the rest, jacket, pants - it was), but with the cap in any way. Then, when came the restructuring and gradually all began to appear, including the leather cap, suddenly found that they are "blue". So not bought. Dosih time for it is their (blue) does not like.

Sergeyitch,
With that in general an interesting story. Now the night is the documentary film "Seven generations of rock 'n' Roll" (http://www.bizikin.ru/61). So it described in detail in the metal where did that leather-klepochnaya aesthetics. She entered Judas Priest singer Rob Halford. With thought about image, but here Halford began to wear caps, leather bracelets with spikes. All "hooked" and went to fashion. Here are just nans was that his ideas Halford drew from visits to marginal stores, which are included in the scope of his personal interests. Unfortunately for he was a homosexual, but did not advertise it. So that's an interesting way skin became uniform metal.
