GRIGORY L. CHAINIKOV

In recent years Chainikov has emerged as Russian Realism's newest and brightest find. His recent death at the age of 47 is a great loss to Russia, and to the international art world. Chainikov embraced Russian Realism and remained ever true to its spirit. As he explained, "My themes arise on their own, through insight and not from engaging in subtleties.." His landscapes are often filled with human forms. He painted the everyday: peasants, the field workers, the old, and the young. He painted only what matters, only what is real. In the pater years of his life, one could most often find the non-assuming Chainikov at The Academic Dacha, painting Russia's humblest fold, with the compassion and understanding of an artist who knows only how to paint the truth and the realism of life.

♩♪Popular, I know about popular ♫♭ JoAnne Artman Gallery is pleased to present, "P O P·u·lar," an exhibition featuring the works of Greg Miller, John “CRASH” Matos, and Michael Callas. Inspired by the long-running Broadway musical Wicked, and its famous song, Popular, the show examines contemporary society through the lens of Pop Art. Touching on notions of conformity, beauty, popularity, and the current cultural landscape, Miller, Matos, and Callas challenge convention through their inclusion and disjunction of pop-culture and advertising.

WAYS OF DRAWING: PHILOSOPHER PATRICK MAYNARD AND ARTIST DMITRY BORSHCH IN CONVERSATION ON ART

https://www.artfixdaily.com/blogs/post/7684-ways-of-drawing-philosopher-patrick-maynard-and-artist-dmitry-bor PM: To set some questions, may I begin by congratulating you on your work: that is, you have found a successful way of working. I think what we mean by "self-expression", a term closely related to art, is one’s own way of making things which can somehow deal with unlimited ranges of life experience. That provides a basic freedom, one we associate with composers, poets, novelists. It is good to see it in drawing these days where you seem to have found a distinctive style.

PHOTOGRAPHY AS PRINTMAKING

"Photography as Printmaking" is an exhibition of twenty-three photographic prints by Dmitry Borshch. They belong to series usually exhibited separately – "Exiled from Truth", "Iconography", "Disasters of War" – which may have created an impression of disunity had these prints' surface not been a unifier and maybe the true subject of our show. Its title is borrowed from the eponymous I968 show at MoMA in New York whose artists felt the same preoccupation with surface quality of their images as Borshch feels today.
