Permanent painting of Vladimir Shinkarev – "Gloomy picture." It is St. Petersburg and suburban landscape, diluted light and views Sestroretsk riddled railway "platform": painting grows naturally on the map of life, structuring its topography from home to the studio.
Soviet city of Leningrad, where Shinkarev in the 1970s became an artist, goes into the pitch darkness of history. It was quite dark city, so it's better "grim picture" none of it will not tell. About how his treasured inhabitants of this darkness, fog, from which floated on the river banks grow old fortress of industrial architecture. How delighted when the fog in the spring brightened and began to glow themselves porticos Arrows, ghosts and Exchange Pushkin House.
Subject Unit and, according Shinkarev best equivalent – a glass of good vodka, and themes of Aref'ev, of Vladimir Shagin and Vasmi and horses "Narva Gate" Filonov (carved or JBI?) And anonymous illustrations Soviet literary journals, and picturesque Theater Poster "titanium "or" Coliseum "and Nikolai Fedorovich Lapshin, and 1920 in the" Circus "- the last semi-free years, the spirit of which we still eat in their 1970 – all this became a colorful infusion of" grim picture "for 1990 th and the beginning of zero.
Then Shinkarev reflected light painting Luciferian present capitalist development, nothingness, which obscures its icy glow metaphysical otherness Petersburg myth. Nonhuman polished facades, clocked day and night oscillation advertisements swirling over still uncultivated land, the mirror over wet asphalt.
It is considered that the modern artist in his work serien as production. Shinkarev likes to show a series of landscapes, as well as thematic pictures. And even the same story he likes to write twice to look at it, for example, in the workshops in the country and in the city. Series imitates life that saved something in common, but irrevocably changed, as they now say, "stuffing."
Retain the name and function, but the changing nature. Art wants to keep the ratio of the opposite temporal integrity, incomparable. Contemporary art often does, showing time use spectacle: "Rouen Cathedral" at a certain time of day, or soup cans, "Campbell" as a menu for a month. But there is a difference between showing the standard, which is stored within the shelf life, and the view is amazing shape living here and now ("Do not compare: living incomparable").
Sometimes an artist like Van Gogh or Cezanne, wants to invest in each colorful as the last chord, saturating time literally every brush tip, and thanks to this mountain St Victoria becomes beautiful mountain of European painting, and an unnamed field with sunflowers – squiggles from one tube at a glance hasty bozo – burn a century, if recharged energy magnetic fields of Earth-Nikola Tesla transformer.
It all depends on the size of the artist's personal sacrifice and humility in front of the as in front of a canon. In his most famous masterpieces of art transforms the serial scan in a contemplative look smart vision. It is invading the growing seriality life, art trying to find something for saving this very life and for yourself too.
Drawing all soup cans "Campbell", Andy Warhol said that he wants to see is not just about the same thing, but exactly the same thing every day, and demanded from him, and the viewer is not looking, scanning the picture plane, but a third of the day fixed before meditation screen "Empire."Seriality "gloomy picture" is quite special properties. It does not have two completely identical images, but there is no single location that would be written by a different purpose, a time counter to start the day. This "orbital" seriality, when the passage of time is recognized paradoxically. He – the entire loss, because moving and years of the artist's life, and the world.
That made one turn and flew off into oblivion clock. But there was a pattern between the beginning and the end of a turn, gaining as a a unique moment in time correlation with the whole being. Such scenes especially on platforms in the latest observation points where nothing is permanent except the repetition, and thus only here all tied knot to dissolve as in a magic trick, and start again:"That was always just an hour / hour's now always be" – might have sounded in the ears of Anna Karenina at the very beginning of her novel.
In the stories about the artist Michael MATYUSHIN mentioned "feeling Sestroretsk" – a special state of mind to go beyond the scope of the extended watching. Sestroretsky looking around the shore of the bay, you feel the motion of the sphere, as if being in a depression of the slope at the top of the globe.
Infinity is always present on the coast as a a fact of life here finds rhythm perfect geometrical shapes. Circular motion – Look around – not only increases the viewing angle to 360 degrees, but the illumination pattern: light, repeatedly running distance, like sparks swirling on syllables CECT / PO / Retsk in the movement dissipates shadow narrow sector of the coast.
Shinkarev as collectors of amber, precious luminous resin of ancient geological life in his paintings collects these eternal Baltic shadow and light punching them, adds to them, as a the sounds of speech, geometry, architecture and human silhouette prints. Eternal return – he has this way of becoming a serial – it returns to normal: the Circle Earth, our northern range of Antioch, traveling in the ocean watching extended.
