75-летию since the birth of the artist in theatre "School of dramatic art" on Sretenka gallery "GROß-Арт" opened an exhibition of his robot@

Seventy-five years ago in the village of glyaden, Blagoveshchensk district of the Altai region in the family of ethnic Germans born one of the most subtle and profound local artists of the last decades of the twentieth century @. Pyotr Dik (1939-2002). Fate was to him simultaneously and severe, and generous. With an excess knowing the difficulties of childhood, multiplied from-за parents repression on a national basis, he has done a long and difficult path to the profession: in 1977, several years after the end of "art school", dick was admitted to the Union khudozhnikov@

Only turning in the nineties to have settled in Vladimir the master came not only local, but also well-deserved recognition in Europe. In 1992-1993 he spent his personal exhibitions in Moscow and London, 1994-м was shown in the Tretyakov gallery; in 1995-1996, the artist has visited the exhibitions Germany and Italy, and in 1997-м opened the exhibition in the Russian Museum in St.-Петербурге. The work of dick in this period was exhibited in Omsk and Samara, Novosibirsk and Nurnberg, Worpswede and Nizhny Novgorod, Erlangen, etc. what is the reason for such success?

Peter dick so communicative "mediator" has become dry pastel, applied most often on sand or velour paper. The creative possibilities of this technique, causing an extramural Association with several frivolous "home" drawing, at first glance, small. However, in the hands of dick pastel touch experiencing real transformation. It all starts with a space. Developing rather "on the contrary" (instead of linear perspective — hard collision of light and dark, concrete and abstract, large and small), spatial constructions of the artist reject the illusory depth, arguing ambient visual component Mira@

a Special role in this process is played by the color. It is reduced to a minimum in the early works, then gaining exceptional brightness and completeness by the end of 1990-х, colour structure clearly reflects the artist's psychologically due to the evolution of his worldview. Total tragedy from childhood, gradually replaced by a full rainbow of emotions as a Mature artist. Large color plane and stains in the works of dick is not so much interact with each other, how much resist interaction, raising his own essence color almost symbolic sound. Similarly worked with a color substance ancient painters, and surrounded by fertile Vladimir-суздальской old, Peter dick, apparently, organically assimilate their opit@

Continuously thoughtfully taking a leisurely fascinating dialogue with his world, dick was fixed in their delicate pastel (paint layer is deliberately not fixed, so as not to disturb its natural texture) sometimes oppressively disturbing, but more often peacefully quiet "metaphysics" of eternal life. In a similar register is created, for example, Giorgio Morandi, Vladimir Weisberg,, Dmitry Krasnopevtsev, but unlike them, Peter dick was always more drawn to the subject-натюрмортные of conflict and peace, always accept the person and accept them otvet@
