Take an Art Break

Russian Artist Victor Lysakov is a former Soviet engineer turned full-time painter. He's a celebrated artist in his own country, and I expect he soon will be pretty renowned in this country as well. For the first time he's making his work available to the American public. I've been perusing his web site, and I gotta say, I like his work. Some of his more traditional motifs remind me of Van Gogh, and his more modern expressionistic work has a vaguely creepy, ethereal quality that appeals to me. He uses a palette of rich, calming colors that increase the dream-like quality of his paintings, except for when he trades calming for disturbing reds and dream-like for nightmarish, as in The Abyss, which just might be my favorite. I especially like the way there seems to be a story accompanying each painting, as though he's captured a brief scene of something larger. If you're interested, quality prints, digitally replicated on museum-quality canvas, are available for purchase from the Lysakov Art Company.
