Vladimir Kush - Part 1
website: http://digitalrainbowproductions.weeb...
Vladimir Kush is a Russian-born surrealist painter and sculptor, although he prefers to refer to his art as metaphorical realism.
He was born in 1965 in Moscow.
The artists who he says have influenced his style since his first experience in art school are Monet, Botticelli, Bosch, van Gogh, Dürer, Schinkel, Vermeer, and Dali to name a few. Bored with the Cézanne-style painting his art school concentrated on, Kush switched to surreal images as a teenager and painted his first surreal picture at the age of 14. He experimented with different styles of impressionism after seeing a book of Salvador Dalí's work in the late 1980s but it didn't appeal because shape was lost in the style. Strongly influenced by his father (a scientist), he believes that realistic paintings show the artist's professional skill and draw the viewer in so that they accept the impossible images enough to see the metaphors in them and explore the different layers of meaning.
Vladiir Kush, nato in Russia, a Mosca, mel 1965 è sicuramente un esponente del surrealismo, ma lui preferisce il termine "realismo metaforico" per spiegare la sua arte.
Durante la sua formazione artistica i ittori che lo hanno maggiormente ifluenzato sono stati Monet, Botticelli, Bosch, van Gogh, Dürer, Schinkel, Vermeer, e Dali.
La metafora come forma espressiva primaria trasporta chi guarda i suoi quadri in una dimensione dove i piani di lettura sono infiniti.
