Vladimir Volegov: art comes from childhood

Creativity in the life of Vladimir Volegov began with the innovation in the design of covers for records produced by the monopoly of Soviet times - the company "Melody". Before Volegova over the models, no one particularly zealous: the drawing was simple, and, as a rule, had nothing in common with the album and its performer. Volegov began to create covers, which were independent works, the ideological content of which further emphasized the merits of the music album. At the same time, the artist did not limit himself in the choice of style or material. I used surrealism and classics, watercolor and gouache. Very quickly, Alla Pugacheva, Valery Leontiev, Alexander Malinin, Philip Kirkorov and the group "Lube" became Vladimir's customers. All the leading figures of the Soviet stage turned to the master, and the friendship that was born as a result of cooperation remained forever.

Then began a long journey through the years of change - not for nothing did the Chinese consider life to be a curse in such an era. Volegov became one of the few who managed to pass this difficult road to success and recognition.
One of the properties of modern art, however, like any other, is the ability to convey feelings. It can open the "doors" to our souls, allows us to imbue with something pure and real. That is why the images of women and children - the main theme in the paintings of the artist Vladimir Volegov. Because the artist himself expresses his feelings through those words and concepts that are close to his soul. And in her there will always be images of people close to us and dear to us. A woman and a child are the first concepts in the life of each person. They come from childhood, and yet we all came from this world.

Scott Scheidly: what did the artist say?

This American artist paints a long time ago. Most of all he gravitates toward creating images in the spirit of the animated part of the old and immortal clip of Floyd's "Wall". His drawings are dominated by fungi-hunters for insects and skulls in a cheerful way of life. Why Scott came to the head to portray the three most mass murderers on earth, and even add to this gallery of portraits of the Pope, you can only guess.


And portraits are far from simple. Mao, for example, pierced his ear, and wears an earring - a pebble. He also put on his spectacles-hearts and smiles very cute. In principle, looking at any Mongoloid face begins to seem that his carrier is always happy with something. But Mao really grinds his teeth on a specific issue.

Stalin, despite his true face, looks like a true Generalissimo. In principle, he literally copied from the replicated portrait. That's only the source was not hanging in the ear earrings.

Hitler looks manly. Perhaps, such an image was a success only in this collection, and it never worked with image-makers of Adolf and his photographers. It is especially strange to observe this result, given the glamorous lilac-pink colors that the artist has chosen for his portrait, and for everyone else.

What in this company makes the actual Pope difficult to understand. This is a hint of his bloody past in the division "Hitler Youth"? But no matter how many victims were on his conscience, to any of the three it is immeasurably far away, because the tyrants did not count even on dozens. On the other hand, they never aspired to the righteous of the highest authority.

Christa Kieffer about Paris with love

In 1949, Krista Kieffer was born in a tiny town in the Black Forest, which is in West Germany. She managed to work both in Switzerland and in England, and then she did not move to the United States - in 1971. Here she worked creatively as an art director of one of the numerous film companies in Los Angeles, and unexpectedly, in an instant, decided to quit her job and devote herself to easel painting.

Christa Kieffer (Christa Kieffer) has a rich, luxurious style, marked by a strong sense of composition. Her paintings are realistically stylized and decorative. And the plot always remains unchanged - a romantic Paris of two hundred years ago. This fascination, oddly enough, came to her on the streets of New Orleans. Stone pavements, pompous balconies, scented with fragrant and vivid colors, shady courtyards, street old-fashioned lights - this atmosphere evoked memories and pleasure. Since then, the artist turns in her work to the era of modernity and takes her audience to the turn of the century, to the French capital. On the eve of each new season, she always visits Paris - walks along its wide boulevards, visits noisy cafes, goes to theaters, admires a lively street traffic. But the main heroine of her forever became amazingly beautiful women, belonging exactly to that era.

Her paintings are an expression of joy. She finds inspiration for her work in her own habitat, a small city in southern California. She lives in a small house whose glazed terrace looks directly at the Pacific Ocean. The ocean surf promotes the birth of creative fantasies: images of the past and the present are mixed with early memories from their own European childhood and, as if immersed in modernity.
