Artist Ilya Shevel

[I-V]

Landscapes are very similar to the older Shagin, although, of course, this kind of an interesting mix Aref'eva (typical painted genre scenes with figures), Vasmi (some characteristic plastic tunnels Richard), Schwarz (many of Shalin color). In addition, it is certainly not New York - is a typical Peter. [/QUOTE]

Granted, there are mixed a lot of (what and interesting). Painting itself had thick, thick as soup riches, in which a lot of things crumbled. And he himself, already in America, tucked his juicy ketchup poured rough, but clearly the American chopped potatoes (which I did, figuratively). The result was something very, in my opinion, delicious. But what is Peter, I did not feel ... On the contrary, I think he moved away from it as possible. Although, if you remember Brodsky, who always drew a parallel between New York and Leningrad ... In short, do not judge me - I'm in St. Petersburg only short visits, and for you, apparently, he native town.
