"... Superimposing a lot of stucco on plywood and working a wide palette knife as a brush, the artist draws an iron tool graceful shapes, objects and shapes, cuts rhythmically adjusted space. In this technique, embodied his ever present desire for illusion, the more plastic the credibility and create space images. artists are able to overcome the specificity of sculptural relief, dictated by technical features of the casting in the form, and to conduct hands-free fixing, fixing instant improvisation in the frozen form.
This technique can be called molded graphics: if the traditional sculpture is repelled by volume, then here - from the plane of the figure, reinforcing, sometimes grotesque, his rhythmic, compositional framework. Relief if grows out carefully shaped and balanced composition. On the other hand, these reliefs can be called a easel sculpture: if graphics or painting is expected to consider a single point, the statue requires bypass, or at least motion passed, with each step showing viewers new ways of composition and plasticity. Reliefs Boris Kocheyshvili have the shape and size and heavy machine works, but from different angles and under different lighting sources to the right, left or frontally, give unexpectedly different images, both by the sculpture complex terrain, as well, and this is perhaps the most interesting feature - through a variety of games of shadows, which create the background on the plane most bizarre songs and contours.

Description technique regards the latter reliefs (2009), those that have color photos of Cyril or shade. (Pure white reliefs executed in a different technique in the period 2001-2005yy. And for them it will go ahead )

Enclose "exclusive" photos - relief from the summer series already modeled, but not yet painted. Due to this very clearly visible amount and plastic molding

And here's another interesting story: found in their photo archives capture the process of creating such a relief. It is called "The organizers of the fountain." Ironically, that made a relief to full-scale sketches. This summer, the main square Tarusa built a fairly large tiled fountain. While working his master, Boris was sitting on the bench and drew them, and then on these designs modeled topography (a girl running along the edge, I think - the muse, inspiring the working prisoners on the construction of the fountain ) Relief this way, then hung at the annual exhibition "Moscow-Tarusa" in the local art gallery, located in the same area.

And in makeweight fotosyuzhet:
"Tarusa 2009" or "Summer Workshop maestro" (incidentally, all the furniture in the photo were made, of course, hands Boris Kocheyshvili )

 Boris at the end of summer is always satisfied with the exhibition open-air, directly on the site. I wish I had little pictures, should be with friends posobirat for the archive.

And here is the story of 60-s associated with Tarusa (my illustration, modern).

    "In the 60 years of a cruel winter, the first time I was in the house of creativity" Senezh. "Ibid turned and Yuri Milk.
In house creative graphics doing lithography, and I alone knew about forty pieces of lithographs by Marc Chagall, which he presented to the Cabinet engravings of the Pushkin Museum. Most artists were from the provinces, and they wanted to see the wizard and the sway of Moscow, despite the frost, take note. Was fused a special bus, and we got into engravings cabinet, and then parted, agreeing to meet at six. At six in the evening we all gathered at the bus, Yuri portage large and heavy suitcase, which we barely pulled into the bus. "What is it?" - I asked. "Books" - replied milk - "Suppose they will live with me Senezh."
         In the midst of an old bus breaks down naturally, and we find ourselves in a clean dark field, freezing, of course, death. The chauffeur had finally managed to stop a bus with poluvybitym glass, closed a carton, which has agreed to the same, we take. There was nothing, and we decided that it was better to tolerate the cold, but still move forward.
On arrival all rushed into the dining room to drink hot tea and a cold cutlet, and I dragged my suitcase into the room, Yuri Alexandrovich, gathering, then, to join the company. But the owner said that after the experienced we can "get sick and die" and opened the suitcase with the tomes, which was lying comfortably in the corner half a liter. Yuri opened it, poured two state faceted glass almost to the brim and we are busily, like medicine, drank the contents. Thus began our acquaintance.
         After we were friends houses, and one day, by agreement, left to Tarusa visit our children in Pionerlager. By that time I often have been in Tarusa and knew the road from the camp along the Oka River to the tomb of Borisov-Musatov. We navoshischalis headstone Matveeva and sat on a bench, admiring the scenery, too. But first a little purple cloud rapidly turned into a huge purple blot. I assumed that we are now obolyut and be ticking, but Yuri nowhere fuss. He never fussed, except that in the post-war Leningrad, where he was a cyclist and any competitions ahead of everyone, and the pavement rushing "let liquid, Click.
       Rain covered us with his head, and we are running down the hill from the church, were in the restaurant. Now Tarusa a lot of entertainment, but then there was one provincial restaurant, which was again delivered a historic phrase that we can "get sick and die." We had to drink vodka and eat fried roach is that it is very cheap and very tasty. Curious Molok immediately found that fish from the Oka, and deliver them to local residents. Later, when the storm passed, we found ourselves on the pier (it was two or three boards, which pestered Shipping). They discovered we ourselves in the company of men who shared with us the port, and then we shared with them, who had taken it from port, and the peasants quickly dubbed Yuri Alexandrovich "Kolya," which he apparently enjoyed. He had already arranged to fish net somewhere on the beach in the juxtaposition of some one of the peasants known lakes. As a result, we nearly missed the only one in those years, slack bus "Tarusa-Moscow". Now Tarusa at least hundreds of taxis and a number of pubs. One of them - cafes Oka exactly at the place of our historic seat of milk. "

Make out the archives in the studio Boris Kocheyshvili - make a selection of works for the anniversary catalog. Gathered a series of remarkable portraits made during the second half of 1970.

1) Liya Ahedzhakova
2) Alla Pologova
3) The artist Pastushkova
others are marked by the artist as a "stranger"

Can someone that is, portraits from this series? Boris says that they at one time was done quite a lot. And there are only 11 sheets.
I wonder where they "settled" ...
