Figure study

Ruslan Matyuk, Russia

Young Russian artist. The main object of the image in his work is a person, a figure, silhouette. On the one hand, the artist works with forms familiar to the eye, and on the other, he creates a completely different reality. The wrong side of our universe, which is sometimes so visually It is impressive that in the future it is impossible to forget the images seen. There is often a person in the field of my image. Recognizable form helps to perceive the images that I offer, and the embedded meaning allows insight into the aesthetics of reinvention. So on the legendary fashion platform “SHOWstudio.com”, founded by the famous British fashion photographer, director and music video director Nick Knight write about the author: bright acrylic paintings by Matyuk, born in Russia, self-taught, reminiscent of the turbulent world of Francis Bacon, whose work is based on subconscious level. For Nick Knight, who highly appreciated the work of the Russian artist and took the work into his own collection, this association with the great British artist is absolutely clear, and Ruslan does not denies such intersections, but in his work emphasizes My figurative painting is synthesized with the avant-garde, paying attention the absurdity, drama and horror of life. I create my paintings through hallucinogenic romantic dreamscapes consisting of soft edges and abstract hugs, thereby plunging into the world of the subconscious. The artist uses bold imagery, grotesque and modern painting techniques, endlessly experimenting, in search of their close heroes, internal foundations and external manifestations myself.
