name Boris Vladimirovich Fedorov (b. 1948), one of the largest domestic artists applied scientists who firmly connected with the artist's glass . Since the 1970s, Boris Fyodorov, devoted himself to the fiberglass, already in early studies demonstrating a creative approach to traditional material. Today Fedorov, proved his worth as a bold experimenter - one of the leaders of the direction of the glass sculpture of Russia, which belongs to the global movement studio "Glass Studio Movement".

At the same time the master said: "As you have already done the work of my attitude anxious, but I see them in time - they are there! I repeat almost can not, and the conditions surrounding the world and myself - that's changing. But the very idea - the eternal, and they come again and again in different variations ».

Boris Fyodorov inherent audacious innovation, a willingness to improvise and take risks. In the process of intensive work in fiberglass, he is constantly in search of new forms and images, but stressed that "then comes the severe selection, but this requires expertise and experience dictates."

austere taste, conciseness of thought, skills, encourage Fedorov for a tough fight to all those that would run counter to a purely plastic characteristics of the product. It frees the glass layers of saloons and "glamor" sharpens the intrinsic value of the material and composition, revealing her rhythm and dynamics. "All the less willing to pass outwardly visible, literature, available immediate impression, more desire for freedom from their own experiences of the world and life, to their direct translation of the plastic material, whether it be drawing, painting and especially glass" - so says our artist plans.

Owning all the secrets of glass, Fedorov knows how to handle this fragile and c 'stubborn' substance, almost to infinity by varying its imaginative possibilities, often seeking an unexpected effect. In recent years, the greatest interest in the artist calls the luminosity and transparency of glass stereoscopic space inside a glass bubble. These properties of the material he wanted to beat the new jobs of which is composed mostly show. "The glass needs to give him credit - the transparency, metaphor, abstraction," - says the master.

Boris Fedorov - versatile and emotional nature, he seeks to express the harmony and peace, and his drama, think about the essence of the tragic . Prone to the versatility of the artist to easily and excitedly goes on to blow glass-painting on glass, took a keen interest in other, more traditional technique of painting. An important facet B. Fedorov gifts associated with easel graphics, in which it is based on a strong tradition of the St. Petersburg school graphic. In the chamber drawings, especially in the landscape pastels, the artist comes from the natural experience. However, his graphic works, and fiberglass, often showing a tendency to abstract the author's motives, identify talent muralist.

However, when working in any technique, Fedorov remembers how important "relationship with the material - the subordination of its elements, then abuse them when you feel the upper hand! Delicate plastic living Gutnov glass contrasts with the hard-worked glass, and in this case, as heat and cold in the painting, the two warring parties, which give impetus to creativity "- emphasizes the artist.

desire to improvise, craving for free-form expressions are characteristic of the whole creative Boris Fyodorov. The master's works are full of philosophical reflections on the universe. In recent years, his compositions are shaped more complex, more laconic, and found expression. In a series of "layers" of glass much attention to the author of the macro-and microcosm. Revealing almost inexhaustible potential of such amazing material, the artist finds new colors, symbols and associations, often working on the viewer on an irrational, sensual level.

difference between the new project of Boris Fyodorov, implemented in the halls of the Academy of Fine Arts - as the larger scale of exposure and the desire to show their masters at all "fresh" products, the latest development of copyright. The exhibition features over 100 works of decorative art and graphics from the artist, executed in the last decade, glass plastic easel graphics and landscapes in pastels.

author hopes to introduce the viewer to circle concerns of its problems, such as the theme of transparency of glass, which sounds in a large number of newly created jobs. "Return to the transparency of the glass after the dramatic and philosophical issues that I touched on in previous years, underlies the concept of the exhibition", - says Fedorov. Bright and saturated colors, as well as the expression of contrasts that distinguish his work of previous years, the master chose a colorless or slightly tinted, sometimes frosted glass with a subtle nuance. However, along with the coloristic minimalism, a number of fragments of the exhibition is based on the energetic color accents associated with the sophisticated use of various shades of yellow, green, blue.
