Modern Russian Painters
http://www.anikonov.ru
Anikonov's painting features laconic and clear thought. Having avoided attachment to subjects, the artist is conscious in evading details and relations between them. Form and colour, the state of objects as well as the balance of the inner and the outer are essential for him.

Master of context in impressionistic landscape and still life. A pictorial phrase for this artist is determinative in perception of elusive time; details are not a goal, but a landmark in an effluence of light he can touch, mood or, precisely, impression is just an echoes, the sound phrases of the environment, in which artist is a story writer, composing novels about Russian province.
"THE ART OF CENTRA COMMUNICATES THE SENSE OF LIFE OF THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE".
Since 1984, Centra is a member of the free trade-union italian painters association of Rome. Many critics made comments on his works and his personality. Antonio Oberti has written on the universal encyclopaedia C.E.L.I.T. "From impressionism Luigi Centra, little by little, has given life, with his inestinguishable serenity of inspiration, to an abstract relationship between his own psychic sensitivy and emotivity and the eternal motion of real life. Canvases often set on fire and patched with transversal string iron wires inserted which, like impalpable material, connect themselves to the diverse levels, in this way conceding a wide and total freedom to his creative sensitivy".
Lived in Albania (1956 – 1961). Since 1961 has been living in Russia.
Member of the Graphic Artists’ Professional Union of Moscow (1984).
Member of the UNESCO’s International Artists’ Federation (1989).

Vitaly Ermolaev is one of the brightest examples of gallant art at the end of the 20th and beginning of 21st centuries.
He creates his own world, continuing interrupted traditions, but not symbolically or nostalgically, but hedonistically and ironically. Carnival, elegant celebrations and artistry of life, the ability to “direct” amusements are what brought the artist and poets of the Order of Courtly Mannerists together. The capital’s architectural landscapes, which are so attractive for a painter, are filled with grotesque characters fully in the artist’s style, playing simple scenes in the foreground. And all of this sweet bustle is covered by the eternal beauty of architectural masterpieces, from both old and Stalin-era Moscow.

...Pictorial language is changing - I am changing as well. Each painting of mine is a specific mental and emotional state. As far as I am concerned, completeness of a painting is an impromptu - unpredictable and sometimes ironic. It is like a pulled bow string...

"My work has engaged issues of identity, intimacy and mortality. I use painting as a means to orientate my position within contemporary culture. <…> I want to reflect the ongoing contemporary preoccupation with mass-produced and consumer driven images and the difficulty of reconciling one’s individuality with this constant input of images and ideas from the outside, media-dominated world. I very much feel that such images have created a modern paradigm or tradition which many in society find inescapable. For me, painting is imperative as a means of challenging traditional expectations, representation and perception".
