My thoughts about painting : art whatever it says , by any way it is created
has a natural Need to communicate with people , needs the other people's
understanding.This kind of Morality is another face of Beauty.In a selfish world an artist cannot be a Narcissus.I am not interested to follow the modern hieroglyphs,a kind of art that is closed.
New feature!

Artist's works are in private collections of Ukraine, Russia, Poland, Germany, USA, Japan, SAR.

The element of these canvases is air: unbounded wind. The heavy mass of dark water is swaying in the rhythm of sea breathing, transparent wave, runs and splashes on the sand, rising foam breaks into a cloud of tiny drops of water, the shining sand moves slowly in layers, the brightness of the morning sun reflects on the shallow-water. .. And you, if you are in the know, how all this is reproduced in colors on the canvas, will point out for yourself the mastery performed facture and technical modes of the monumental painting, up to a simple aerosol dusting of paint.
Konstantin Isikov graduated from Lviv Academy of Arts, department of monumental painting in 2000. Participant of art exhibitions in Kiev, Krakow, Wroclaw, where his art received a high appraisal. There is no lack of financial success also, "marines" of this artist are as representative, as they are romantic. These paintings belong to the newest trend, when "art for art's sake" acquires the definite traces of "applied " art.
As a matter of fact, the monumental painting as such relates to the applied genre, and this schooling could not but show itself in the easel painting of the artist. The high level of generalization at the decorative, sometimes even slightly exaggerated , emphasis of detail - is characteristic for the painter. Same with the color: now of an extremely complicated mixture, then almost open - "painted plane'7. This is accepted in the monumental painting, and Konstantin Isikov skillfully and not importunately applies this method.
"Marines" of K. Isikov enchant by the richness of color, fantasy of colors, extraordinary deep shades of color: once - a heavy mystic gloominess, sometimes -exulting, euphoric clearness. His sea might be a dream. For the artist K. Isikov it really is — a sea of dreaming: virtual sea, sea - myth.
It is clearly shown that these "marines" are composed on the panoramic principle: as if a landscape is taken by a panoramic camera. There are other photography( movie) methods present - like "influxes" and "double expositions". Collage principle is also applied. All this enables the artist, and an onlooker after him, to take in the boundless space by sight - and to see "that, what is not here". Thus, we see in front of us not a landscape, in the strict genre sense, not the depiction of a place, but specifically "a sea image". The system, chosen by this artist, for the expression of his ideas and feelings, suggests a line of association , not a literal meaning.
A frequent subject motive of these canvases is an aerostat fragment: either the one landing on the wave, or... the one coming up from the depth ! The flying , living in the clouds yacht seals are seen even more often. Yacht image is a symbol of lightness, bravery and spontaneity, of something not obligatory : yacht is a luxury, it's not for freight or passengers. It is daring - and vulnerable, it is free and willful. Same as elements. The painting cycle of Konstantin Isikov "The game of sails" is dedicated to this theme.
The lighthouses and bare rocks; the stone city terraces are growing, coming out from the rocks. The quicksand and dry grass resisting the wind ... Impetuosity, sweeping gush in all their structure. What is interesting - it's often that there is no sky in his "marines": all space of the paintings is occupied by water. But water reflects the sky. That is why piercing the worlds vertical is always present in the horizontal panorama of Isikov: his world is striving upwards.
One more permanent motive of the painting cycle of Isikov is a lighthouse. Hope, faith... Something, which will not allow the irrepressible , willful and fragile yacht to be a toy and a gain of a water abyss...

Valentina Levchuk

I was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I studied watercolor as a boy. I then studied oils for four years as a young man in New England.

I earned various non-art degrees and then concentrated on raising our family and earning a living as a High School Principal and later as the CIO of a large public organization.

In the nineteen-eighties I began experimenting with the then emerging digital art forms.

I now work as a full time artist in Colorado, USA and teach “Digital Tools for Artists” and “Electronic Painting” at The Art Student League Of Denver.

I was born and brought up in the Scottish highlands where I grew up in isolated rural areas.

 Educated in Dingwall Academy, then Tain Royal Academy where my interest in art was really encouraged, I secured a place at Gray's school of Art in Aberdeen where I graduated from in 1990. I studied under Alexander Fraser, Gordon Bryce, Joyce Cairns and Frank Convery.

I am based in Gairloch where I take my inspiration from the land, sea, air and light.

I have a permanent studio in my own home where I have both my art and picture framing business.

I am a member of Highlands Open Studios 2007, 2008  ,An Talla Solais gallery in Ullapool and Artists Universal.

"Reflections of London", "Reflections of Venice" and "Reflections of Buenos Aires"

The existing series of photographs shows London, Venice and Buenos Aires as seen on a daily basis. But look what the human eye is missing as you see the depth of reflections that are not often registered.

Having been exposed to photographic background since birth (Neil's father was a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society) Neil Lawson-Baker has an eye for absolute perfection. He uses a Nikon D 300 digital camera and a Leaf Aptus 38M pixel back on a Contax 645 camera system to produce quality work.

According to interior designer and journalist Jane Arte Watt "the artist reveals an extra dimension not seen by people in a hurry of everyday life, images that the city itself created, with no computer image processing involved - just an artist's eye and the city."

"The art of photography is not lost with a birth of digital cameras; it has been promoted to the state of photographic art instead of being a simple recording of the vernacular."
(Jane Arte Watt, BIDA "The Role of Photography in Contemporary Interior Design")

Biography

I was only 5 years old when my family moved from Sweden to South America. To me that was a great life improvement. Life was so much more exciting and fun for a child, and there was this beautiful strong sunlight that feels so good. Wonderful and strange fruits and animals. Supermarkets and shanty towns. Bowling alleys and revolutions with shooting in the streets. I especially remember the burning upside down cars and the carnivals and religious processions – a lot of visual impressions for a small kid.
Teenage years

At the time I had a passion of painting perfectionist jetfighters and spaceships. I did it in school and I did it at home. I must have made hundreds... When we moved back to Sweden after 5 years in the sunshine life suddenly felt diluted and pale. It was like coming into a vacuum. When I was 15 I started painting portraits in oil. After a couple of years I switched to watercolour, as I found it so nicely fluid – none of the stickiness of oil.
Maturing and quitting

I had lots of exhibitions between 25 and 35. Then came a period where I wanted to break all watercolour traditions. I wanted to take watercolour where it had never been before. This was an intense and wild period that lasted a couple of years. Then I stopped painting for 15 years.

During that period I often wondered if I ever would paint again. Had I lost it for good? When I turned 50 I moved from Sweden to Algarve - and I soon wanted to paint again. It was scary: could I still paint?

The first couple of paintings weren’t that good. After that they got better and better. Soon I realised that my talent had grown and matured during those 15 inactive years.
Inspired by the light

When I now started again, I got tons of inspiration. Coming to Algarve was like a time travel back to my 1950’s childhood in Venezuela. Nothing had changed. Time had been standing still in this dimension. The warm empty streets on a Sunday afternoon. (See painting: Lagoa 1985) The strong sunlight and dark shadows inspired me to paint. I can feel the next hundred paintings crawling around inside me, all fighting to get out first.

I think that I am now painting the strong impressions I had as a kid, mixed with my impressions of Algarve now. So maybe I see a personal magic dimension to what I look at. “It’s not really here...” It will probably be gone when I am gone. So was it really here when I was here? It’s like some of the vivid dreams I have - and I’m capturing it to paper. Deja vu.
It´s all one

Even when I look at what some people would call “ordinary” everyday motifs, I somehow look above or beneath the surface. Some parts loses importance, other become enhanced. When you see it that way, there can be as much beauty and artistic interest in a crowded street scene, or a ruin as there would be in a landscape or a horse. It’s all natural. It’s all part of our existence. When I travel I am not interested in the big national monuments, but the backstreets of the old parts of town. I’m painting from the heart! With a lot of feeling!
Thousands of things to explore

I sometimes get goose pimples when I make an unusually special brushstroke. When I am almost finished with a painting, and look at it to see what's the next step I need to take, it's like looking at a woman that I am just falling in love with. It’s a feeling of a thousand other exciting things to explore. Sometimes I have to be brave because there’s everything to win and everything to loose. I have a love relationship with my painting. This is why it feels bad to sell the resulting paintings: I’ve put so much into this art-relationship - the paintings are my babies - how could I sell them? However I found a way around this - I have decided to make limited edition prints from my original watercolour paintings, thus making it possible for me to at least keep a print myself. At the same time a print only cost 10-20% of the original, thus making it more accessible.
Influences

If I try to analyze further, why I am painting what I am painting the way I paint it, I don’t think I make many references to art made before my lifetime. I have had so many visual impressions during my own life: the cartoons I used to read as a kid, the paint by numbers my mother did, watching my uncle B. O. Abrahamsson create naive paintings, the Swedish artists Carl Larsson, Ola Billgren and Kai Andreasson, my zen painting training in London, David Hockney, Edward Hopper, Japanese prints, LP album covers, etc. These are some of the ingredients in my paintings. A little bit of this and a little bit of that - like the spices a chef is using when he is cooking...
Inviting the uncontrollable

Watercolour beginners soon see that there are many charming, unexpected effects that happens with watercolour when you just play around with it. Today when I paint, I invite these “uncontrollable” effects to happen. Through the creation of an infrastructure of “wet/dry dynamics” I make them happen where and how I want. The “expected unexpected”. Twenty years ago those “uncontrollable” effects could ruin a half finished painting, but this never happens now. They are now always to my advantage. They help me create that how-could-he-do-that effect. They are my “magic power tools”. Sometimes I invent new techniques for an effect I desire.
The future

At the moment I live in Algarve in Portugal. I paint most days. I love it here. The light inspires me. I also see things that inspires me to try new expressions for new motifs. I have recently started with a bigger format (70 x 100 cm), which forced me to approach the painting process in a new way. I also have some ideas for future exhibitions, where I will work on different themes. I hope you enjoy my paintings.
