Japonaiserie - inspiration

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 00:09:23 +0200

«Urbanix Gallery is proud to present Japonaiserie: A group exhibition featuring works by Zoya Cherkassky, Tatyana Luxemburg and Lena Revenko. The opening reception takes place on Thursday, September 10th at 8PM and runs through October 12th.»

So if you are in Israel the next month, please, welcome. I’ll be in the gallery tomorrow for the opening show!

I would like as well to show you a little part of my inspirations by japanese culture.

Utagawa Toyokuni, a great master of woodblock prints, the most amazing of Kabuki actors.

MOE, a magazine of contemporary art and children book’s illustration. Actually, all my art way started with a help of one of MOE’s editors and now a friend of mine, Morishita Noriko.

«Retoro Style» — book with collections of images from old days in Japan

Shimada, fashion designer

Japanese children books. I have at home a big collection!
Especially I love works of Suzuki Koji.

Ryu Itadani — amazing artist from Tokyo.

Luxirare — very intriguing blog of fashion, food and objects.

Koji Arai, japanese fashion designer (or architect?), author of the fashion show «Last Supper»

I have no idea, what’s that. But it is beautiful!

pictoplasma 2009

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 14:57:10 +0200

recently I came back from Berlin, I went there with a colleague-designer Ian to a Pictoplasma conference «Prepare for Pictopia», and also to meet my friend Karin. The even was very interesting and good organized, but unfortunately I’ve discovered that many of great illustrators and artists are not very good speakers, some are not even able to make 5 minutes presentation without their public falling asleep.

Visit to Moscow

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 01:03:58 +0200

Recently my friend Karin (who lives in Berlin) and I met in Moscow. Last time I’ve been to Moscow I was twelve, and could only remember a very tasty ice-cream I ate on Exhibition Grounds, and that my cousin Sasha, whose room I occupied during that visit, had a very cool kind of calculator, which could generate mathematical exercises as a game. This time I had definitely more memories. This city is beautiful, sexy, intriguing, but also cruel, clinical and very cold in every respect.

Patriarch Ponds from «Master & Margarita». Karin and me were really surprised, first, because there are no pondS, but only one pond, second, because it is really tiny, and third, because no trams were found around…

Old supermarket «Eliseevskij». Very impressive:

A Chinese Souvenir

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 23:51:10 +0200

I brought many beautiful books of old prints from China, and especially excited by their monsters and other magical creatures. Seriously thinking about studying Asian mythology…

p.s. Karin, this picture is waiting for you, as a souvenir of our trip to China!

Really cool Amsterdam based illustrator Fiodor Sumkin (originally Russian :). Like a DJ of graphic elements, mixing a lot of typography, mixing crafting pen, inc, watercolors.

Отличные работы, Федор!

artist: Will Ashford

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 09:20:01 +0200

Will Ashford, Recycled Words. This is what he writes about his work:
«Browsing through garage sales, street markets and used bookstores I search for interesting, preferably discarded, old books. When I find a good candidate I explore every page. Like an archeologist I hunt for the words that speak to me with new meaning. Intuitively, one word at a time, they turn into a kind of haiku or philosophical poetry that I can call my own.»
>>

And also really like that part:
«Art is often described as „timeless“ at the same time as it is considered definitive to a particular era. This art, however presents a more compelling temporal „can of worms“ in that: it brings the past (the text and the pages themselves) into the present where it becomes not just a medium but a collaborator in the creation of something new with hardly any indication of the period in which it was created using themes, imagery, and materials that can be presumed to remain relevant long into the future.»

Cool streetartist, Os Gemeos. Using a lot of patterns in his work, which makes his style unique and easily recognizable. I like his work a lot.
