Art Wednesday: Leonid Afremov
Three Red - this is one of my favourites |
Artist: Leonid Afremov
Place of birth: Vitebsk, Russia (1955) - moved to Israel in 1990, USA in 2002 and now lives in Mexico
For his life history (which is very interesting and lengthy) - check out his link
Famous for his palette work (he generally doesn't use a brush), which is easy to see in these paintings and those bright oranges and yellows - his paintings are unmistakable. Interestingly, Afremov does not hold exhibitions (or have involvement with dealers or galleries) and promotes his own works and sells many via the internet, including eBay. I like this art, its bold and colourful, however I would like to see more works in different colours such as in "Evening Charm" or "Downpour" (below).

Downpour - can't you just feel the rain splashing on your legs - he has captured the falling rain so well. I really like this painting |

ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah. The weather looks lovely today and was perfect over the weekend .
DeleteYes, I like his work ~ especially Blue Light & Eternity. He does rain brilliantly & I always enjoy his wet splashy pictures! ☺
ReplyDeletebeautiful but quite bright I think! not sure if this is something I would pick out from among others if I had the choice:)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't choose this style of painting as a favourite, but I really love these paintings you've put up here - I love the colours - a lot of these paintings remind me of autumn because of the reds and yellows; he really seems to like his warm colours! :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I love the rich colors in them. The rain paintings are particularly pretty - so many nice blues!
