Albuquerque Fresco & Dolphin Fresco at Fresco School Video Channel
|
|
The Albuquerque Fresco by Ilia Anossov is a paradigm of a brilliant modern fresco. Its technique is on the Grande scale. Viewing it is reminiscent of watching a gigantic film, for this fresco incorporates not only cinematic techniques, and reminders of the most brilliant art, but also resounds of the painting of late modern artists with a flair for whimsy, like Jean Miro, and Paul Klee. At the same time there are images and techniques which evoke paintings of early masters.
Dolphin Fresco, a buon (true) fresco by iLia Anossov (fresco). An "ansamble" of classic fresco technique Pompeian plaster methods and mild influence of art deco. The foam on the waters surface seems to reference the dramatic movement of water in The Big Wave by Japanese artist Hokusai Katsuchika. A boarder of geometric spirals seems to echo the shapes of the walls below and adds a Mediterranean touch to the work. Presented by www.FrescoSchool.org
