Spiritual themes in works by contemporary Russian artists

[Элис]

Spouses Ring from Kiev to revive the lost technique of enamel painting and have done for Khersones unique iconostasis in Technology enamel.
When the iconostasis is only mounted, several parishioners entering the church of St. Vladimir were baptized at the Mother of God and kiss the baby feet. Tatiana and Sergey were shocked - in a good way. After the icons have not been able even to sanctify. Perhaps, in comparison to written icons convex, smooth, with the sunlight figures appeared praying more animated and "close"?
Technique itself came from ancient Egypt. There, the composition of glass and metal oxides, which add color, covered with golden masks of pharaohs. Then, from Byzantium through Georgia Recipes for making their way into Kievan Rus. Our ancestors learned to write enamel faces so skillfully that the Western governors often invited them to her for, as it just said, "master classes". The decline occurred in the Tartar-Mongol yoke. And all the icons, which now boast museums around the world, created in the 15-16 centuries, representatives of the School of Limoges (France). But they - only fragments of the iconostasis. And thanks to Chet Ring in 2003, was created "full length" option. Something similar is in Italy, but there icons as small as 38 cm in height, and in Chersonesus Temple - 110 cm

CREATIVITY BLIND.
 
There is no traditional enamel palette. All 10 colors - white powder stored in jars. About colors - red, blue, green - said only the number. Do not mistake an artist in the selection, it appears only after firing. "The whole palette to keep in memory, - says Sergey. - Color in the furnace shown as picture in the reagent and depends on many things: the thickness of the layer of paint, temperature, exposure time, and yet the number of firing. Because technology enamel does not like her "alter" the other: without constant training skills The fast running out.
Intuition is the master and his experience - this is the sacrament emalerstva. There is wisdom in the preparatory work. The artist takes a copper plate (enamel is best associated with copper, gold, silver and platinum) and the ordinary with bold pencil of office store (and once they were intertwined with the wire - filigree) causes image. Then, between the pencil lines distributed divorced water-based paint powder. The furnace bold lines from a pencil fade. We have to work hard and work to look three-dimensional: the front of the previously applied several coats of white enamel lining - but on the reverse side of the layer kontremali. Temperature arches copper plate in the direction of the thicker enamel and creates the illusion of coinage.

UNDER THE PROTECTION OF ANGELS.
 
With enamel Sergey and Tatyana Ring, writing oil, began experimenting 15 years ago - with the filing of another Kiev enamel Alexander Beard, who once brought from Hungary, special paints. They do always alone - everyone has his own idea, and hence its own realization. The iconostasis was their only joint work. Both are surprised at how all of them at the time failed. As if from the mistakes kept the Angels. Semi divided into several parts, because meter plate in the oven would not fit. But this has created additional complexity: for each firing plate is expanding, and it threatened to inconsistencies during assembly. There should also match the amount of enamel and color. Because the technology in respect of each fragment was repeated to the letter. All items sent to the furnace exactly 9 times. Past 12 at night had not gone and done the work in record time: 11 icons for three months. "It's difficult. If offered a job again, would not agree ", - says Sergey. "I miss them" - recognized Tatiana.

Thanks, of course! But there was a new issue in the interpretation of the "Russian":

those who, for the questionnaire "êèé?
Those for whom Russian Yazak home?
or those who survived the "Soviet Union"?
Here (forum) a lot was discussed about how the value embedded in the modern Western world the concept of "Russian" and "Russian" ..
