Red Road (2015) 绘画 由 Iskan

You probably realize that everything is complicated for an artist: you don't consistently achieve the effect you were trying to achieve. And sometimes, it is not clear to me myself what I was striving for - this is typical for abstraction. At times, the implementation of a creative idea follows a winding path; and I end not where I was aiming at. It is not I who changes the game rules in the course of the game, but it is the creative process with its own whimsical laws. They are immutable; I am not the one to change the logic of self-construction of an abstract picture. This has always been the case with non-figurative depictions, starting with cave art.

However, this time everything happened according to plan. I wanted to get my idea through, to give the viewer my perception of the winding highway in the taiga forest near Lake Baikal, and I made a clear, readable picture. The view from above emphasizes the flatness, which I consistently adhere to in almost all of my compositions.

I was an interpreter for a group of foreign guests in the late 1970s; they had an entertaining and educational helicopter flight over the virgin taiga coniferous forests in the Lake Baikal region. It was just on that morning that the first snow fell; the views were unforgettable, they sunk into my soul, and 35 years on, I depicted what was deep in my memory and feelings. It is a generalization, an idea, not a realistic landscape.

Why is the road red? - These are the laws of building a picture as a composition, as a combination of color shapes on the canvas.
