It is always interesting what made the artist new in the creative process.
Vitaly Grimokov, drawing nude nature, “Nu” has a deep belief that his “actresses” (and he paints for the most part actresses) is not a “POPSA” in painting.
Recently passed salon confirmed the opinion of the artist-his work enjoyed the success of the public, exacting, educated the public.
And yet, why “Nu” and why actresses?
Fungi is close to fooism and he develops the landscape as a genre in the fovist style.
He considers the canvases “Vologda rye”, “Hot Day”, “Winter Portrait”.
“The cycle” Avignon girls “-is a game-mastering foovism. The second period of discipleship in 55 years! “-says the artist.
Interestingly, fungi is trying to develop the “nude” in the plenere.
“Even Matisse did not realize this theme”,-invites the author to discuss his canvases.
There is also a cycle of “strippers”, “Absinthe”, “Argentinka”, of course, they can provoke someone on the controversy about the acceptability of such “models”, but V.S. Gripkova is a powerful like-minded French philosopher Maurice Merlot-Ponti and Andre Malro.
“The expressive activity of the body, which began with perception, first minute, expanding, becomes the art of painting.”
Living in the world of painting, accepting only its meaning, communicating with the world with the help of painting, capture why “meaning” requires this color and this object in the image.
In the. With. Fungi, based on these “postulates”, can always explain why some of the appearance of “actresses”, because he always knows what the meaning of this image.
Woman in movie frame… Is it only a bodily contour, a colorful mannequin, a spectacle? No-no, the artist sees in it exactly “individual, sensual expression”, a certain way to be plastic and tactile flesh, the way, which gives itself to know, manifests itself in its gait, in the unique knock of its heels on the pavement.
The screen gives us motion and sound. The artist captures the gesture and pose, stopping the moment.
Fungi says-“Since I am a painter, this particular way of women to be flesh using paint and color I bring out to the canvas. But the canvas will reflect not only the vital sensual value, not only the “actress”, but also the symbol of being in the world “.
It is the interpretation of this symbol through the face and clothing, through the mobility and immobility of the depicted body, through the gesture and pose of the model-through a certain attitude to the existence and is the task of the artist.
The picture arises only when the “meaning” is caught in the “actress” when a genuine picturesque style is found.
And again philosophers come to the rescue-“any style is an orderly deformation of the elements of the world. It arises already at the very beginning of perception and with its help the artist touches the sense and makes sound in its exact meaning “.
The artist on canvas reflects, reflates, for B. With. Mushroom “stylization” “actresses” has a philosophical meaning, he experiments in the field of aesthetics of cinema, as a field of visual direction of art, allows to draw some additional impulse for comprehension or solving of “flesh”-a symbol, “flesh”- Hieroglyph.
Let’s agree that the “actresses” of the artist Grikova are worth to see them with a little interest, than in the moving “pictures” of the screen.
