Farid Bogdalov. Universal hot-дог. 2018

"Outwardly from a formal point of view, my works are often unsolvable paradoxes. Thus, the paradox expresses, if not truth itself, then, at least, hinted at its existence and in a sense points to the truth" (Farid Bogdalov).

"Special interest Farid Bogdalov analysis of the causes of the broad visual contexts of modern civilization and society, which is described as "the society of the spectacle" par excellence, In all its new series "Sweet power," original power of images borrowed from mass visual culture (advertising, Internet, etc.) compete with the power of reflective art the main weapon which — analysis, irony and paradox. In a seemingly simple, full of seemingly light humor and gentle absurdity compositions is actually not so simple and straightforward...

if Choke cloying art in totality, or it can counter cream images invisible saving some acid?" (Georgy Litichevsky, bogdalov.com).

Vladimir Brainin. Lyalin pereulok. 2015-2018

"a Constant theme of paintings-миражей Brainin — old Moscow, which will take no architectural transformations of the Soviet era. No one in the city and topographical accuracy, a sense which nevertheless manages to create artist. The streets and boulevards filled with fantastical creatures, half-real phantom architecture, fountains and gratings, with unexpected reflections of buildings" (svoykrug.com).

"Originally Brainin was recorded in the traditional painters. He also soon were identified as an exemplary figure of the aestheticism of the artist. Within the landscape genre, it soon became clear his obvious attraction to classical values — from Guardi and Canaletto to Utrillo. So wove the image of the Brainin — of retrospectivity and traditionalist, painter archaic, Museum warehouse. But eventually it turned out that Brainin does not a lyrical topography of the city, but expresses its history, the destruction, the tragedy of the living and departed people" (G. Nikich, persona.rin.ru).

"Brainin's Paintings possess a strange property: the image space carries the physical content of another space. Avenue that may lead the viewer to a kilometer depth from the surface of the canvas, a wall with a bas-relief and the door does not let the viewer more than a step behind the layer of paint... And at the same time: the Boulevard overturned and is the plan itself (and why-то plan and cut archaeologicalexcavations that are felt and heard through the dark shadows of the trees and the reflection of lamps in puddles); and the wall can enter, dissolving in it (the door does not need), and moving forward will be long — for many decades ago" (G. Nikich, persona.rin.ru).

Irina Korsakov. Dolls. Head 11. 2019

"I always considered worthy when art brings hope and beauty to people. And so difficult to live, why make it harder? But you can see my pain for mankind looking for a way out, and I ran with that in a new topic “Dolls”.

“Doll” — on our souls beautiful and pure, the wise, the sick and the lonely. Often clothes, hair, smiles hiding injuries, deformities, mental. When showing a person, it is always a specific character, and in the portraits of the dolls I see abstract images. About people in General.

Pavel Lungin called them “modern icons”.

See in this thread there's endless possibilities, I think, is enough for me for life (Irina Korsakov).

Igor Nezhivoy. Eclipse. 1998

Igor Inanimate — representative of the Moscow naive, and St. Petersburg Mitka, one of the most kind and peaceful of events in the art (cultobzor.ru). Surprisingly, kindness today in honor only to naive artists (by the way, isn't that why in recent years their creativity more and more popular?). And humor — simple fun motifs — write again naive artists, because even in children's books as genuine, pure laughter is increasingly rare. Humor has long given way in the best case of irony, but mostly — sarcasm or black humor. And you have to be very brave and independent person and artist, to not paying attention to the sarcasm of others, to write a cheerful, kind, and clean picture.

"1990-е years — flourishing in the artist. His works of those years belong to the genre of naive art, and it says “Eclipse”. There is the characteristic of Inanimate funny characters, and bright juicy colors, and intricate plot: hot summer midday sun beauty lay down to rest on the grass and fallen asleep safely missed event of the year, which went to everyone in the neighborhood, — solar Eclipse.

However, she managed to buy oranges, the dealer which we see in the background. The author, and not without his characteristic paradoxes: it is obvious that it is happening in Russia (the birch trees in the background clearly saying this), but why-то next to an orange tree. Here's a riddle and have to solve the audience, probably sleeping this sleeping beauty (Anastasia Vikulina).

Olga Pushkareva. Still life with pomegranate. 2017

"Fine art — like poetry and music — reveals to the viewer the depth of emotional perception of the world reflected by the artist in his works. After “painting — is poetry which is seen and poetry — is painting that is heard...”

I'm interested in the formula of art, in tune with our age. Interestingby symbolic expression in painting and drawing to solve the eternal problem of art — synthesis “high to low” and “eternal in the transitory”...

I belong to the artists joyful perception of the world.

Beauty, aesthetics, humanity and art needs to delight and bring people together, filling them with the strength and joy of life, because the language of fine art is unique in its absolute sociability, a kind of Esperanto understood by all" (Olga Pushkareva).

Alexander Rusov. Chatelet and the Saint-Жак. Paris. 2019

"the Architect who builds the world... Then the photographer who takes the world... And finally, the painter who comes to this world as he pleases: turns, reshapes — moving to where "carries itself".

unlike architect and photographer — from the artist is obtained only what he “wants”. Not participation in the project, is not a bona fide reflection seen — Sasha Rus has grown to the freedom to do what you want, i.e. to be himself. It continues the way of Moscow artists 30-х years school avant-garde, but returned from his rigid scheme back to the world. Russ is able to combine seen with deliberate found written, with the result that in his paintings is born life, inviting the viewer to sympathize and empathize. He rose to the freedom that-то love.

Love does not choose wisely, she just touches you — the world touches you. Why “wanted” in this place, at this moment, it is in this light? It is not clear. But the coincidence of the two (world artist) is born suddenly painting. How? Is also unknown. A normal artist has only one task: “go there — don't know where.” Only today you can work, of course, if you're not a conceptualist. “Bring that — don't know what”. And happiness is" (Konstantin Sutyagin. facebook.com).

Maria Semensky. All that is possible to imagine. 2015

"the Confrontation between destruction and triumph of the human spirit, overcoming itself, and the detection of interactions with history, culture, world — all my work is about man, even if he is not visibly present in the picture.

the Work of “All that is possible to imagine” — is my attempt to answer the question: Who am I? This is the first work of the series “Anthropology” — metaphor of the discovery of oneself in the slice of reality, where the names of the characters are erased, not the place and time of the events, only the marked category of ritual action.

This work, in fact, represents a set of Signs of the phenomenon, the reading of which is to decode to the audience. The viewer, who needs to realize that he himself is the Creator of meaning, which is born from the interaction picture, andattentive to their own feelings and thoughts: this is the only possible reality of the continuation of life pattern — form of thought, born by each individual spectator" (Maria Semensky).

Andrey Syaglov. Untitled. 2012

"Moscow artist Andrey Syaglov — master of abstraction. His paintings stimulate the visual and tactile perception. Syaglov feels the color and skillful with it, resorting to lyrical gradients, and contrasting combinations, and monochrome combinations. Each canvas, conventionally divided into several parts, like the plans of the landscape, denoting each of them a special color palette. His favorite shades — warm, ocher, Bordeaux, fawn, low cadmium and terracotta. These color planes, the artist combines the extremely delicately and gently, avoiding clear boundaries and geometric contours.

Abstraction Andrey Syaglov could be called landscapes, but not in the usual interpretation of this genre, and metaphysical. Complex ridged and cracked texture of oil paint along with organic color tints refers to the image of the basic natural elements. Pasty red — the symbol of fire, brown-золотой — sends to the ground, dark-синий — to water and air. However, this symbolism is very conditional — viewer needs to rely primarily on their own Association that is an active, multi-layered and textured painted surface" (abramovagallery.art).

"Andrey Syaglov makes the color, texture and surface of the painting as an aesthetically Autonomous entity. The artist mobilizes the imagination to make this the primary matter of painting sacred value. Through his paintings, the viewer touches the fundamental Foundation of the world, hidden from human eyes. By removing all unnecessary, the artist shows us the beauty in pure form (Yulia Shutova, cultinfo.ru).

Kate-Анна Taguchi. Portraits 2. 2016

"I wanted to show humanity as a single stream of life, energy, feelings, emotions. So people in my paintings are mixed flow into one another, become part of each other" (Katia-Анна Taguchi).

"... it's all one character: the author, assuming the guise of each of the heroes. He, and not someone-либо other, shows us the face of the man in the Portrait, and this face is not a mask and the background, and decoration — not screen. Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter (Oscar Wilde)" (Ilgaraliyev, annataguti.ru).

"Time swiftly turns the present into the past: what was only what is a minute, an hour, a day, a year ago. ...

the portraits I want to convey concentrated state of a man who recalls his past, tries to understand the present and predict your future" (Kate-Анна Taguchi, erarta.com).

Yuri Horovsky. Art is useful. № 10. 2019

"In a series of boxes "Art is useful", executed in mixed mediatechnique: papier-маше, metal, acrylic, traced the ironic interpretation of classical heritage.

These boxes — kind of “fire sculpture”. They were originally designed for the interior, but may exist as an independent work of art. The highlight boxes is that they have a utilitarian function and can be used as boxes to store various small items.

the Box 10. Battle. Comedy battle, played fictional characters. The archaic smile, and fake weapons “warriors” turn battle in the comic fun. Looking at this sculptural group — is great fun for the intellectual: here you can find promises, and in ancient mythology, and computer games" (Yuri Horovsky).

good luck on the auction XX "XXI century. Contemporary Russian art"!
