«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.
more, more, more japanese inspiration

pictoplasma 2009
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
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.

A Chinese Souvenir
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…

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.

Will Ashford, Recycled Words. This is what he writes about his work:
And also really like that part:

«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.»

I have recently discovered Kill Pixie — streetartist from Australia, and was immediately charmed by ball-head characters, palettes, textures and absolute freedom and fun of his works. Here is a cool Kill Pixie interview.

Recently I got an old Chinese comic book from my friend, and was really inspired by it’s main character, Sun Wukong (the Monkey King):
He is a hero of Journey to the West, a classical epic novel, published in the 1590’s
