Artist

Zakharov Oleg Borisovich

(1960-present)

Member of the Moscow Union of Artists since 1998

In 1969 he graduated from the Moscow Architectural Institute (MARHI). Participated in various city, republican, anniversary, foreign exhibitions, repeatedly in exhibitions of the Participant of the war and in his personal exhibitions.

He was awarded the Labor Veteran Medal and the War Participant Jubilee Medals.

An architect by education, Boris Petrovich is a recognized, talented artist. He did not rank himself with any famous style or trend in art, he wanted to be free in creativity, not obey dogmas, traditions, religious postulates, and this is reflected in the paintings of the Artist - his poetic works awaken the imagination and allow the viewer to rise above the hustle and bustle. I am especially attracted by the images of the Russian province with its transparent air and spirit of freedom.

In the landscapes of the Artist, whether it be spring floods of rivers, sunny autumn days, foggy rainy weather, forests, churches, narrow streets of old towns of the Moscow Region, a deep sensuality is captured, sometimes expressed in a subtle coloristic solution, and sometimes in a broad expressive brushstroke.

Comprehending the essence of nature, the Artist painted it in all the variety of different states.

The talent and high skill of the Artist allowed him to transfer observation of nature to the canvas, inviting the viewer to contemplate his own understanding of how everything that exists responds to the changeability of heaven.

In 1984 he graduated from the Moscow Architectural Institute (MARHI). Participant of allied, regional, Moscow and personal exhibitions. A large number of the artist's works are in museums, galleries and private collections in Russia and abroad.

 

A talented, hereditary artist who inherited the sophistication of the classical art school from his father, nevertheless, makes his way in creativity. Putting thoughts into a visible form, Oleg Borisovich works in different genres, such as lyrical landscape, portrait painting, still life, graphics, abstract conceptualism.

A subtle sense of composition, harmony of generalization and detail, ease of pictorial phrasing give the artist's works a special musicality and depth of perception.

Penetrating into the concept of the Artist's works, the viewer begins to feel how the Gray-haired Old Man, indissoluble with the surrounding nature, takes on a living breath in the richness and drama of color, in the transparent lightness of valers and the freedom of a plastic image.

The Artist pays considerable attention to drawing, to Graphics itself, as the starting point of any visual creativity.

All of the Artist's paintings are filled with Harmony and express love for the world of God, exactly like the world of Russian Culture, confirming once again that over more than a century, "Vanguard" has acquired all the signs of classical, museum art, while the conventional classics have not lost their freshness to this day and novelty at its best.

The main and favorite theme of the sculptor Nina Kukhtevich is ballet. Since the age of 18, working as a decorator at the Mariinsky Theater and simultaneously receiving professional education, the young sculptor Nina Kukhtevich attends ballet classes and rehearsals, makes sketches of such outstanding ballet dancers as Mikhail Baryshnikov, Irina Kolpakova, Gabriela Komleva and many other wonderful dancers who have entered the history of world ballet. Later, having moved to Moscow, Vladimir Vasiliev, Nikolai Tsiskaridze, Ekaterina Maksimova, Maria Alexandrova and other famous talented artists of the Bolshoi Theater did not escape her gaze and pen. Contact with the artist helps Nina Kukhtevich to create an expressive image, to work out the subtleties of the costume, to convey the emotion of a unique moment of time.

The lightness, grace, and subtlety inherent in ballet is quite difficult to fix in the material, especially in such a monumental and ponderous as bronze. A talented sculptor, a true master of her craft, Nina Kukhtevich successfully copes with this task, giving the viewer unique and magical images of the characters of the delightful ballet world.
