Icaruses on Red, oil on canvas, 30x60 cm, 2009
Energetic, unusually colorful and atmospheric art work, made by the talented artist Dmitry Yakovin. The painting is made in the style of microrealism - one of the variations of surrealism, which has become the definition of everything strange and fantastic.
We see an image of a completely different reality, a fictional world, shown in every tiny detail. This reality is a parallel to our reality, similar to our world order, but it is more fabulous and magical. In this world the author shows puppet and touching inhabitants: elves, gnomes, winged animals. The artist masterfully creates this micro-reality and invites the viewer to look at the life of these little creatures.
Distinguished feature of the artist – is his special red color that can be found in lots of his art works. To create a special effect artist uses his own artistic method – golden attrition of the background.
