THE ART OUT THERE: Alexey Adonin
One of my rare abstract entries is by an artist originally from Belarus and now residing in Jerusalem. There's a resemblance to abstract science fiction illustrations from the 1960s (like Robert Powers) that immediately appealed to me. I do not think the similarity can be accidental as there is a distinct homage to science fiction in some of his work as in "Red Planet" above. While the images are essentially abstract and are, according to the artist, created without any preconception, there is always a strong hint of figuration or more commonly landscape. He builds up layers using a variety of techniques with large windows in each so that the final image is a kind of collage of textures. (written by David Carmack Lewis)
