Boris Kudryavtsev practiced the landscape painting just in the open air. In his works we see the nature near Moscow in its season changes , as well as autumn and spring landscapes of Sudak environs in Crimea. Maybe it is precisely the small size of his miniature pictures, that helped him in any weather conditions and in spite of time shortage to cope with rather complicated landscape painting tasks – to find the special moments of nature’s beauty in its color, light and form. Instead of brush, he always used mastichine and with it he developed his filigree original technique which transmits the nature's shapes and rhythms and eloquently speaks of the artist's highly inspired character. Boris Kudryavtsev stopped his landscape painting in 1991. Boris Kudryavtsev practiced the landscape painting just in the open air. In his works... more

artists' statement
"Many things imitate art and many people imitate artists. Art doesn't obey theories, which always belie, it has its own reason and is not interpreted in words. Art isn't conscripted, but belongs to the innocent. It is addressed to free people, but it is very difficult, one, to understand who free people are. The artwork's message is always poetic, even if it depicts Vincent van Gogh's old shoes, or a plate of potatoes."

about the artist
Krystyna Suchwallo .She was born in Vilnius at 1958.From 1959 she is living in Poland. Studied-State Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk. Graduation with honours in1986 from Prof. Sramkiewicz’s class. She has many exhibitions in Poland ,Sweden, Germany and Austria. Works in many private collections in Germany, Holland, Japan, Poland Sweden and USA. “Krystyna Suchwallo, one of the outstanding Polish landscape painters, studied painting at the Fine Arts Academy of Gdansk under the eminent artist-Professor Kazimierz Sramkiewicz. She is of Lithuanian descent: thirty generations of her family have always held in the highest regard the memory of their legendary ancestor-Prince Gedymin who lived as early as in the pagan times of Middle Ages. As befits a descendant of the family who once ruled the Great Princedom of Lithuania, she is a neoconservative. Her painting reflect a noble search for the beauty of natural and idyllic paradise. It is the world with could be seen during a magic, subcelestial flight. The most beautiful spaces open up like a dream before our eyes. We admire what human beings have always admired: Our Earth. We look at wild shores of the sea, steep rocks full of pathos and sublimeness, clouds witch haven’t been painted by anybody before. The artist’s virtuosity, her perfect technique and her sensitive eyes of a master recall the best tradition of both the French and English landscape paintings. Like Corot, Turner, she reacts to atmospheric phenomenons rather than architecture of landscape .Her fogs, dawns and twilights, her southern seas and northern fiords are the true poem woven from joy and nostalgia, power and weakness, pathos and pensiveness. Her pictures aren’t common landscapes. Her mountains are also beautiful sculptures and her oceans are impressive displays of firework, of sparkles and glitters, of sudden strokes of the brush illuminating like flashes. To the artist painting is everything. First of all it’s a mysterious ritual, during which she discovers like Theseus the secrets of Labyrinth. At the time of painting, listenig to the music without melody and rhythm, she put herself in an odd trans. She becomes her own medium. The painting space draws her into its interior. She stands on the thresholds of her pictures and then-like Bulhakow’s heroine passionately depicted in his “Master and Margarita”-she starts her flight to the lands of eternal beauty. It happened also to me: while looking at her pictures I got an irresistible feeling that I heard a sough of gentle breeze and smelled a sandy soil warmed by the sun .”Gdansk 27th February 1989 Professor Czeslaw Tumielewicz
artists' statement
Your work: I find the paintings skillfully executed in an expressive style that includes compositional aesthetics, as well as use of light and color to convey mood and emotion. The work reveals subtle form within a complex structure of abstraction to convey a sublime vision of the landscape. Resolute in style and milieu, the paintings achieve poignancy through a unique perspective that resonates throughout the cohesive presentation. I feel that the work will resonate well with our audience. Excellent work. Angela Di Bello Director of Agora Gallery / Editor-in-Chief of ArtisSpectrum Magazineabout the artist

about the artist
Born 1970. (American abstract painter) Living in Los Angeles, California, Scott Spencer loves to listen to music while he paints. "Classical music is great for the more cerebral pieces and good old rock and roll works best when I want to let the paint fly." Spencer takes inspiration from his immediate surroundings, real or imagined, and paints into the wee hours of the night. "That's when the energy comes." He began painting full time after a brush with cancer in 1999. Spencer is represented by renowned gallerist and art dealer Biljana Grcic-Beran through Galeria Jan in La Jolla, California, and was admitted into the Pasadena Society of Artists in 2004.
artists' statement
Life is a game. Play along. In the Grand Scheme of it all, we may very well be experiencing different realities. These are definitely wacky times. We live in an age of orange newscasters and Burger King memorabilia. I stepped off the deep end a long time ago and have been dogpaddling for dear life ever since. Nobody taught me to run from my problems. I had to learn that one on my own. I give myself over to That Which Governs. I know Someone or Something is watching after me, keeping vigil. Every day I thank my lucky stars and the Powers That Be that there are art collectors in this world. "Thank you," to everyone who owns and all future owners of these paintings. You are wonderful people, allowing me to continue painting and giving me great satisfaction. If you're ever in Los Angeles, please look me up. I'll buy you some lunch. I'd like to get to know you. Every canvas has an agenda--a life of its own separate from its maker, separate from thought or logic or reason--and to plot its course is only to interfere. To plan is to destroy. Let it paint. Trust the mess. All marks are good. Oh, but the mutiny of scrutiny . . . if we could only leave it alone. The self-taught artist has a great chance to be unique. Without knowledge of "rules" to hinder the hand or an instructor's style to imitate, what results is pure, entirely his own. Contrary to popular belief, abstract art is "meaningful" on a parallel with representational art. Each of us sees differently, and individual responses to an abstract work of art are varied. An abstract work's "meaning" is oftentimes stronger and more personal for the viewer than it is in purely representational art where the subject matter is obvious and can only evoke a limited range of emotions. Nowhere else in this existence have I found the freedom and exhilaration that oil painting affords. Albert Einstein said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." Welcome words to a daydreamer like me. "There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion." Francis Bacon Being gay is a gift, a variation on a theme. Love is too powerful to be shaped or confined. At the moment, I'm loving the paintings of Cecily Brown, Raimonds Staprans and Paul Balmer. My all-time favorites are Max Beckmann, Milton Avery, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Joan Mitchell, Egon Schiele, Richard Diebenkorn, Helen Frankenthaler and Lucien Freud.about the artist

The Rise of the Relevance of the Artist
Posted by Original Fine Art Gallery at 6/24/2008 8:42 AM and is filed under Art Investment,Art in the News
Before co-founding CapucinesBoulevard.com, I spent my career investing in small and micro cap value stocks which basically means the smallest and least expensive 5% of all public companies - and despite the fact that these were all well-run enterprises, most investors didn't pay much attention to them --- so, when I went to visit companies to learn more about their operations, many were pleased that someone was actually interested.
Most importantly, by spending the time to get information that other investors were ignoring, I was able to find opportunities that others missed. I believe that like small and micro cap value stocks, Emerging Artists are the greatest investment opportunities that no one has ever heard of.
Many people make the mistake of looking at art as something that's nice to have, but that simply doesn't meet the qualifications of a necessity. How wrong they are.
Art happens to be the biggest unregulated, legal economy in the world to the tune of $64B worldwide, in fact, it grew 95% between 2002 and 2006 and, the truth is, as Robert Redford has said, "culture is a solid investment"
Make no mistake, art isn' fluff. We live in an abundant country, and have pretty much taken care of all of our basic needs, and our culture places increasing value on creativity and innovation: the ideas that catch on today are those that represent conceptual leaps - they give us things that we didn't know we were missing, not things we necessarily needed, but ideas that appeal to our creative natures.
Artists begin with an innate advantage in this new economy by their very ability to see and to think differently. And Art is becoming more and more intertwined with our daily lives: we can see it in the examples of corporations buying Contemporary art in order to attract and inspire their employees, and to highlight their brands to the world while giving something back to society -- and these companies aren't cutting back on their art buying despite what's going on in the economy, because they've come to recognize how much the visual really drives our culture, and keeps them top of mind.
The other side of this new economy other than the art itself centers around the value of it -- art should always be purchased for the joy it brings, but art is also an asset and if it's bought for pleasure and gives the investment returns for free, what more could anyone ask?
However, when it comes to art, it's contemporary art that's in demand because even though people admire the Old Masters, what they want to own are representations of their own culture and time. Contemporary art is more topical and often more interesting and now, it's becoming more valuable.
Art isn't usually an asset that springs to mind when thinking of investment alternatives, but its long-term performance record argues that it should be.
For the last 50 years, contemporary art has outperformed the S&P 500, which means that someone who bought a portfolio of art would have done better than someone who invested in the stock market over the same time period. The same holds true during every major war of the twentieth century and through the twenty seven recessionary periods since 1875.
From an investment standpoint, and most important for Emerging Artists, is the fact that there is no greater advantage to buying more expensive works of art, buyers get the same returns buying artwork that's never been exhibited or received any citations, as they would buying the work of artists with more notoriety.
There's truly never been a better time to be an emerging artist. With their power to inspire, and yes, to prosper, the record is quite clear: the VALUE is in work of the emerging artist.
