Meeting with an interesting person - always a memorable event, and meeting with interesting and talented artist - it's just fireworks of emotions.
That's how we survived contact with
Gennady Zubkov Gerasimovich - student VV Sterligov, this master of Petersburg avant-garde and generally terrific whole and human identity.
On 9 floor on Petrogradka, capping an intricate maze of stairs, which in its 70 Gennady Gerasimov copes easily dancer, on the "snowy peaks" St. Petersburg roofs, nesting shop with painted door. For that, doing their colorful, multifaceted compositions reigns dressed in a Capuchin dress (the remnants of a carnival) master. His memories of a great teacher of the underground art exhibitions in the Soviet era, the greedy attention from abroad, and bureaucratic difficulties at home - all these priceless stories, I hope more will be written and published. But the most beautiful, fascinating, breathtaking supramundane its beauty and light - this is his picture.
Linens Gennady Zubkov - a rainbow universe built on a comparison, the coupling, the interpenetration of colored worlds and spaces. Objects and shapes, depicted by the artist, get a special light-and flower-bearing system, the sound clean, clear voices in the overall complex and remarkably harmonious chorale. Rather, it is not objects, and "ideas" of objects, their ideal and at the same time sharply characteristic images. Turning the face of visual perception, the artist, and after him and the viewer to penetrate the mysteries of the picturesque peacebuilding in almost a sacred space where life is made mysterious forests and mountains, monasteries and towers, and sunlight, pot-bellied jars and sea shells. On the outline of people freeze glimpses of heavenly light, and the trees reach for the sky for its almond-shaped faces.
