I posted about this Russian artist about 18 months ago, when reaching the sites carrying his etchings, drawings, paintings and ex libris prints was a very time consuming process. But Sergey wrote to advise that he has a new slick site with high resolution images available. I love the retro fantasy folk whimsy.
Yes, those are very fine!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you featured him again -- I wasn't quite captivated the first time, but now I am hooked! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful images you have here! I have never visited your blog before, but I will certainly do so in the future! Just my wierd take on the visual, but the bear being slayed below, at first I identified as a cat getting accupuncture ;O)
ReplyDeletegoodness me- these fantastic images are like a magical deja vu with ones childhood
ReplyDeleteI see an influence of Maurice Sendak in this wonderful stuff -- anybody agree?
ReplyDeleteI'm speechless. Es un trabajo maravilloso, realmente fuera de este mundo, grandisimo hallazgo
ReplyDeleteNice post again. I've never seen these images before, nor heard of their author. It truly amazes me that work like this can exist underneath the shadows of pop culture, when they are so pressing and present (and I would add, wholly post-pop).
ReplyDeleteThanks again, BibliOdyssey.
Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting these. (I particularly liked the Moon).
N.
Amazing stuff, as usual. Love the giant grasshopper.
ReplyDeleteReminds me strongly the Codex Seraphinianus, by italian artist Luigi Serafini. Have you ever posted anything about him ?
ReplyDeletemarvelous art very meticulouslly made working,there is a similar artist from bratislava,peter klucik,visit him.
ReplyDeletePaul, I've posted a couple of images from Codex Seraphinianus but I note that the whole book was put on flickr recently. It's a delicate copyright matter however.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hugo. Monsterbrains did a post on Kluick last year. All the images online are not very big unfortunately.
These are wonderful. The surreal whimsy reminds me of the work of Peter Sis.
ReplyDeletethank you for your beautiful blog.
ReplyDeletei am hooked.
i was wondering if you have come across books by andrea dezso. they were the first bookart specimens that i ever saw and i still think her work is amazing. here is the link:

ReplyDeleteVery very interesting, fabolous!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
