Viktor Lyapkola in a revised and comprehensive exhibition. Fulminant! Viktor was born in 1956 in Ukhta, Komi Republic, Russia. In 1979-1987 he studied at the Faculty of Painting at the Imperial Academy of Arts under V. Gorb, V. Reikhet. Since 1990 - a member of the St. Petersburg Union of Artists. The works of Viktor Alexandrovich Lyapkalo are in museums and private collections in Russia, Germany, Holland, Belgium, USA and other countries.

In Guennadi Ulibin's hyperralistic work the naked human on bare earth is the main motive of the compositions. Civilization and technology no longer exist, only its remnants, in the form of strange objects, once high-tech machines rise above the surface of the earth or sea, - a pile of metal, like a defeated idol of a technogenic system. Women personify the future of humanity. They are hope and inspiration, as well as a symbol of love and beauty - the beginning for the creation of a new beautiful world based on the principle of knowledge and understanding of the infinite universe.

Marcus Cederberg: Beauty lies in simplicity - becoming a minimalist! We are all living in an era of endless distraction and constant input. Channeling a sense of calm, Marcus translates society´s intrinsic need for a slower pace into minimalist photographs.

TOKYO NUDE. Rumi Ando transforms a cityscape into its naked state by removing all kinds of “noise” in the city including people, electric poles, windows, and signs under the concept “making fictional Tokyo with photography” which causes this strange feeling.

 

Hiroki Kawanabe, Johannes Vermeer, Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin

Hiroki Kawanabe, Japanese painter. His paintings are ordinary scenes from the ordinary lives of ordinary people. They are some kind of "simplistic", that is because It is very important for him not to over do it. In this sense, he uses subtraction, not addition, in his drawings. This can also be seen in the traditional Japanese sense of beauty.

Vermeer, Cézanne, Gauguin..., some of the greatest of all times! Welcome to their virtual exhibitions at the museum of art. Always a delight. Have a visit and enjoy!

 

Marissa Oosterlee, Elena Volkova, Renaud GRIZARD, Alexei Lantsev

Dutch artist Marissa Oosterlee specialising in hyperrealistic oil and airbrush portraits. Her art is imbued with grace and purity. Each of her creations invite for silent contemplation.

Renaud GRIZARD spent his youth in Canada and Pakistan before coming back to France to study at the Architecture School of Marseille. After his graduation in 1986, he rapidly gave up architecture as a living to dedicate himself exclusively to painting. He now lives and works in Marseille.

“To paint, you have to close your eyes and sing,” Picasso once said. It seems that when Alexei Lantsev paints his pictures, he not only sings, but at the same time performs a real dance with a brush, giving in to an impulse that drives him from within. The guiding theme of Alexei Lantsev's work is always the search for a balance between logic and feeling, be it abstraction, landscape or figurative art.
 

Philip Barlow, Segun Abraham, Anthony Kosiso Attah, Joseph Lorusso

Philip Barlow is interested in the concept of capturing “the moment”, a millisecond in time when everything lines up perfectly. Philip describes his work as a step towards abstraction.

Joseph Lorusso creates landscapes and figurative works. In painting these subjects, Lorusso has concentrated on honing his powers of observation, especially as it concerns to color, texture, form and composition. The mood and emotion conveyed in Lorusso’s paintings evokes a deep sense of beauty found in the quiet times of daily living. His people are mysterious, lonely, romantic and yet familiar, placed in settings we often see ourselves. Joseph Lorusso’s work has been shown internationally and has won numerous awards and honors.
