Alexander Pavlovich Afonin prefers to paint landscapes not from photography and not in the office, but from life. The artist claims that copying photographic landscapes- good soil for degradation, in particular, the loss of a sense of freshness and a sense of air.

Landscapes of nature of different seasons from Alexey Savchenko
Alexey Savchenko is a rather young artist, but already recognizable and very promising. The main theme of his paintings, created thanks to the etude style of painting, are small towns, half-forgotten villages, surviving churches, in a word, the hinterland of vast Russia. Savchenko specializes in landscapes of nature of different seasons. As a rule, his paintings convey the nature of the central zone of the Russian Federation.Landscapes by Russian artist Alexei Savchenko they take it not by color, but by some wayward northern mood. , maximum color realism - perhaps this is what is very expressively visible on the author's canvases.

Primitive artist from Minsk Valentin Gubarev not chasing fame and just doing what he loves. His work is insanely popular abroad, but almost unfamiliar to his compatriots. In the mid-90s, the French fell in love with his everyday sketches and signed a contract with the artist for 16 years. Pictures that, it would seem, should be understandable only to us, the bearers of " modest charm undeveloped socialism", appealed to the European public, and exhibitions began in Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain and other countries.
Sergei Marshennikov is 41 years old. He lives in St. Petersburg and creates in the best traditions of the classical Russian school of realistic portrait painting. The heroines of his paintings are tender and defenseless in their half-naked women. On many of the famous paintings the artist's muse and wife, Natalia, are depicted.
IN modern era pictures high resolution and the heyday of hyperrealism, the work of Philip Barlow (Philip Barlow) immediately attracts attention. However, a certain effort is required from the viewer in order to force himself to look at blurry silhouettes and bright spots on the author's canvases. Probably, this is how they see the world without glasses and contact lenses people suffering from myopia.
Laurent Parcelier's painting is wonderful world in which there is neither sadness nor despondency. You will not find gloomy and rainy pictures in him.

in pictures British artist Neil Simone Everything is not what it seems at first glance. “For me, the world around me is a series of fragile and ever-changing shapes, shadows and boundaries,” says Simon. And in his paintings everything is really illusory and interconnected. Borders are washed away, and stories flow into each other.
Italian-born contemporary American artist Joseph Lorasso (
First of all, it differs in the colors that modern artists use. They hardly use crystals, which have been widely used by all artists since the Renaissance. But still nature at work contemporary landscape painters still just as beautiful. modern landscape differs from its predecessors in a more vivid expression of feelings, moods and thoughts. Most often written contemporary artists, like their predecessors, use this material to keep the viewer happy for longer.
Artist Yuri Obukhovsky
The romantic landscape "Costa Bravo" ("marina") is filled with the artist. In fact, this is the "wild" coast of Spain with a length of a little less than two hundred kilometers.
The painting depicts a narrow bay with a rocky shore. The blue of the calm mediterranean sea competes with the blue of the sky, as if faded from the bright sun. Snow-white clouds, emphasizing its blueness, echo the white triangular sailboats that have gone far into the sea, with white foam crashing against the rocks of the waves. The blue of the sea is not uniform. Close to the viewer, it slightly brightens, away - it becomes saturated blue, as if filled with the power of an unpredictable water element. The picture is so full of romanticism that it does not leave the viewer indifferent. The rocks that frame the bay are visible in the distance in light lilac shades, and close up they sparkle with gold. They were gilded in different shades by the bright sun, which is not visible to the viewer, but its hot rays are felt in everything. In our gray climate, it is nice to see rich blues and golds, and it is joyful to have such a picture at home that at any time of the year will speak of summer sparkling with all colors. This picture is good not only at home, but also in the office, when you can take your eyes off the computer and look at the living calming sea.
The artist is not confined to one marine genre. He is interested in everything: the landscapes of Moscow, and Karelia, and the Crimea. The wonderful corners of Moscow rise before the viewer in the landscapes “Spring on the Patriarchs” and “The Yard on Tverskoy Boulevard”, which open up the familiar to us anew. Invariable admiration is caused by these oil paintings. Modern artists see and reflect in their paintings a diverse delightful world.
Artist Kandybin
The painter gave his love to the landscape of Russia. His canvases depict narrow, transparent and clean rivers with banks overgrown with green grass. Bridges and boats show that people live somewhere nearby in such beauty. Powerful trees, descending from the slopes, approach the banks, reflected in the still surface of the water. On one of the canvases there is a five-domed church with a white bell tower, and white water lilies bloom along the shore.
Oil paintings by contemporary artists (landscapes) are realistic. All canvases by Kandybin are full of peace. And only stitches-paths tell us that people live and work here who take care of the world that surrounds them. In the landscape with the beginning of autumn, when the grass along the river is still green, like the whole forest is still green, a bright golden-orange maple stands out, which sensed the approaching autumn days. A few burgundy-red bushes along the river are also signs of autumn. The artist's gaze lovingly stops at the winter landscape. Clear silhouettes of old branched trees are especially good against the background of snow. And the white-trunked birch trees are silvering next to the green pines and fir-trees.
Landscapes by Alexei Savchenko
An experienced landscape painter, who turned forty in 2015, does not get tired of admiring the change of seasons. He is a member of the Creative Union of Russian Artists. Abandoned half-forgotten villages come to life on his canvases. Almost the same landscape, painted both in summer and in autumn, carries a different, but joyfully thoughtful mood due to color. The country road is dry in summer, and in autumn its ruts turn dark purple, sagging from the frequent rains.
Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Alexander Afonin
Born in Kursk and starting to draw at the age of 12, he was educated at the art school in Zheleznogorsk, which he considers one of the best in Russia. All landscapes the artist goes to draw on nature, without copying photographs. And the result is living Russian nature in front of us in all its discreet charm and poetry. (paintings by contemporary artists in particular) is full of high aesthetics. Afonin's works are very romantic.
In one of the paintings, a small green island with a tiny church in the center opens up before the viewer. And around in a haze the lake and the huge endless sky merge. The painter found a secluded and most beautiful corner and showed it to those who, for some reason, cannot get out of the house. The view of the artist reveals to us a huge unknown world.
Victor Bykov discovers the beauty of the forest
The painter became interested in forest thickets and forest edges, in which a city dweller does not visit as often as he would like. The sun's rays, refracting and playing with colors, penetrate his canvases. They change the usual gloomy lighting of the forest. It just becomes magical.
A winter forest, bowed under the weight of the just past snowfall, seems impregnable, but it still calls to get through the deep snowdrifts and shake off the snow from the branches that have fallen, showering all their companions with it. The morning in the picture is sunny and paints it in pinkish-lilac tones.
Sergey Peredereev
He is a member of the Union of Artists of the Russian Federation. His works are full of constant admiration for our material world. He does not treat nature like Bazarov, who said that nature is not a temple, but a workshop. No, this is a temple that must be appreciated and loved, because the resources of nature are not endless. To need oil paintings. Modern artists admire not only fields, forests, copses. Sometimes a small village is very interesting, perhaps a former town, standing on a hill rising up. The picture shows its outskirts, and then a forest begins. (paintings) by contemporary artists takes the viewer away from the urban world, from huge apartment buildings, from the flow of cars, to quiet corners where everything is full of harmony.
Many people paint in oils. Modern artists often fill them with silence and tranquility. People in small villages live slowly, trying only to plant, water, weed, harvest, harvest, prepare for the winter. And when they go out onto the porch in the morning, they fully inhale the fresh air filled with the aromas of herbs and flowers.
Looking at modern landscape painters, you see that in which the exact transmission of nature is important, which has its origins in the 19th century, the work of contemporary artists continues. If earlier artists set themselves not only genre tasks, but it was important for many to show the oppression of the people, now undoubted skill is poured into oil paintings on canvas by contemporary artists, come to life on canvases and do not leave the viewer indifferent.
