It was the second of a series of "dramatic" still life dramatic backdrop and a sharp dramatic side lighting instead of scattering and soft as before.

But the first one also 50x40.

Another three-Bread still life with a rope, Flemish, metaphysical.

All 40x50 cm, oil on canvas

At yesterday, January, auctions Gormley were put 4 of my work. Sold everything, and for one work-Lady in Colors-a struggle-9 carbides! Of course, I am shocked, to dream, to your work at auction went cleaned, so the fight, but when you see for yourself how it happens in reality, just feel a shock. And, because I was there no one knows, drop from the clouds, still did not have time to get used to, but drat ....
Rule Britannia!

 And in connection with this event would like to present a small retrospective of one side of my work, women's heads. I, like Pushkin, draw them in the fields, EM between times, just practicing some fleeting idea or itchy hands on the brush and paint, often on paper, but sometimes on the canvas, sometimes Artmane. Gormley has been sold to three of these heads, but I just sold them do not know how many people love them, and in Russia and abroad. Why? I do not know, I really do not do them, and therefore do not analyze yourself, look and decide, why ...

1. This lady in the flowers, the hero of yesterday's success, it was the first and when a struggle for her, the other items of the same author at once became more attractive, I think. I wrote it in Kiev, hung on Artnau, zero response, but then one artist, who now lives in Sweden, wrote in a commentary, "The work is very good, people do not realize how good it is" ... That's sorted out now :-)
2. Another head with Gormley.
3,4,6. - Works in the collections of our members of the forum AI.

8. Work in Denmark.
9. In the CHA one man walked, walked, then came, well, give me the drunkard, she likes me!
10. In 2009, the work is in the collection in the UK.

1. Esche in 2009 , in the same collection.
2. Oil on canvas, in Moscow.
3. Work in the catalog of my exhibition at the CHA , bought after the exhibition- the lady had no money, and when there , bought , said it is very reminiscent of an icon from the Russian Museum , the Angel with Golden Hair .
4. Work in the collection of one businessman in the pharmaceutical industry.

Of unsold until : -
5. Oil on canvas, 35x35 type , exhibited in Berlin, wanted to buy in Moscow, but has not yet grown together.
6. Acrylic on paper , 50 cm , wanted to buy, but I have not found in the rubble , and then found.
7. From the series -arm itching , namazyukal , and was good. Written on a sheet of A4 paper writing , without soil , so the price of 1000 rubles. Again expressed a desire to buy , but not implemented.

At yesterday , January , auctions Gormley were put 4 of my work. Sold everything, and for one work -Lady in Colors- a struggle -9 carbides !

This is very positive , and the rate of demand .. (.. and just happy for you) . Wonder .. whether demand similar works have to say .. " Gelos "?

[Seriy]

Peter, the question whether the demand-I-like answered with illustrations, te bought three heads on Gormlis, so I have these heads in Moscow to buy, and no one, and no two ... Just with Gormlis all happens with jet speed, and we have, as in a dream realm, a year for a teaspoon.
But your question is, if we understand it wider, if one and the same popular topics in the UK and Russia, is very important. And the answer is, unequivocally, no!
Just look at Artnau, Gelos and Gormlis, Rosss simultaneously - completely different in subject matter and technique of other cultural codes. Personally, I was just lucky that modernity of the early 20th century, on which I am standing with both feet, was clear and in another country, even though my work is still very different from the total number.
 There is another very important difference in the approach to the creation of the picture we have there. We can admire the well written geranium leaf or an internal dialogue with some pictures of the current artistic debates. As a result, sometimes the skill is, and pictures, as events like complete self things like market product-no.
And there, he can, as an artist, a little, but continuously creates product-finished pictures to a specific consumer, in which all is considered, the size, color, theme, technique and the artist does just what he can do well and swings out that he may not be possible. Instead of introspection and reflection, beautiful production of the finished product on a commercial scale, te to auction 18 works at a time - easy! And it's not that good technically artist draws unpretentious bagels and bouquets for the needs of the public, not bunches draws one who they can best go out and it turns out that in the price range of £ 150 bunches, oil, in a frame, the artist is a something the competition does not have, it's all been worked out and optimized to the maximum, it is better not write. Who better to receive cow writes cows. Here is the ability to focus on what you can, which corresponds to your artistic identity, not sprayed, not twitch in different directions, it strikes me, we have since decided that every new artist's work to challenge, threaten to something great and eternal , to answer the question to be or not to be ... Even when the artist data only on a small bouquet. And excuse neprodavaemosti not, if you do not sell, you simply erase the card and auction will not take the work of the gallery too. There's was first sold, and then we'll see whether you're a good artist! For us first become a good artist, and then we'll see whether you're standing in order to be sold.
I do not know what is right, what is not, but such a disposition seems to me now ...

Who better to receive cow writes cows. Here is the ability to focus on what you can, which corresponds to your artistic individuality , and then we'll see whether you 're standing in order to be sold.

.. Maybe so . .. We have these " bouquets " and " cow " is well accustomed to the " natural markets " such as the waterfront at CHA in Moscow and St. Petersburg have and probably in many major cities similar education. To what extent it 's only here can talk about creative art , or is it kind of DPI. >?

Seriy, in support of your resume quote from the memoirs of Falk " ... Actually, I was struck in Paris designed by the art market system .... The system seems even better , but what it offers standardization , I somehow a conversation with the artist Kiesling . he offered me : why not write a few still lifes , assume a price of 200 № 20.po fr.za number? But you disadvantageous hudozhnik.Ya surprised , because before that, he praised me very much so. what is it? my stuff is in no uniformity is typical for me. buyer must clearly understand : the artist writes in this color scheme , such and such subjects, such that size. to see it from a distance : it is Falk , and no other. but things do conveniently . Gets Marchand telegramku from fellow American : "It's so much room this is an artist." can administer affairs in absentia delovomu.Uvy ! heroic role Marchand type or Tanguy Bernard passed .... Previously, Marchand was the role of the progressive, they support artists on your own risk.Teper Marchand played a rather negative role , targeting artists to standard ... "

Peter, the longer I paint, the concept-art-for me more narrows and narrows. T e I'm all for less great artists recognize the uniqueness of the property and innovation. In Berlin I saw a still life Signac in 1880, where all types of strokes of Van Gogh shows, the question of the unique manner of Van Gogh put dabs for me is closed.
I now look - good or bad art, and it is easy enough to understand. Did the artist with the focus on the broad market or a public sector, museums, galleries certain direction, the intellectuals, it's up to the tenth, to painting has nothing to do. There is absolutely brilliant artists such as Boldini or modern - Pinot Daeni whose works completely devoid of intellectual component, and a painting is still excellent and priced. In fact, they wrote bouquets for your audience, but put in it the power of the skill.
There is a site on the magical realism and there made a tape of the paintings-time machine-direction of magical realism in the last 400 years - nothing has changed, the most fashionable artists of the 21st century do the same things as the Flemings in the 17th century.
