andering
on an endless art jungle of a network the Internet, more often I saw art
schools with a very low level of initial, base training. This situation
is usual not only for one country but it’s a reality all over the
world. The school of realism today reminds me an old private residence
near 80 floor concrete and glass building of computer technologies. The
first is cozy and alive the latter is unapproachable and cold. Nevertheless,
old artists ‘masterpieces are still of great value but even the
most talented works in a digital format lose their novelty and urgency
very quickly.
n
the majority of the countries the continuity of
generations of realistic painting - bases of all directions of art has
already gone forever. But still in Russia there are people who have received
an alive string of traditional school of fine arts. I was taught painting,
figure and portrait by Chernyh P.A., a member of the union of artists
of the USSR. His works are exposed in many museums of Russia and abroad
including in Tretiakov gallery, in national gallery of Washington, and
also in many private collections. His father studied together with Serov
and Korovin, V.Majakovskiy was his friend - all these people have left
a deep trace in a history of Russia. I can transfer edges of these strings
to you, and you will continue the tradition.
his
site shows very small part of my art works. I would hardly manage to photograph
the others - time and circumstances have scattered them all over the world.
The same is true to many works of my students which I would like to shown
to you. But I shall not stop searches, and my gallery will be enriched
with early pictures. Everybody wishing to study basis realism deeply and
competently - welcome to my Internet art school!
Yours faithfully, Oleg Ch. |
