P. Zapoli / Victor Zhadanov

Finely executed this view must be very well known

to most visitors of Venetia. Probably done by a

gifted street artist but nonetheless! Work on paper.

Dimensions: 25 / 35 cm.

The brushstrokes aren't the finely placed is one would

expect at first glance. But the impression is there.

And another detail.

Depicting water has allways been a challenge for artists.

As for watercolours, Xavier Swolfs in Belgium is a master

in that aspect. But in oil I would suggest everyone to

look at the paintings of Frits Thaulow from Norway.

Victor Zhadanov

This Russian artist has been invited to give workshops in

Belgium. That must have been the reason we came across

this small but intriguing watercolour. His way of  creating 

watercolours seems to ask for a totally different approach.

Not starting with watercolour immediately but

putting the idea on paper in pencil. Remarkable in

all his portraits is an allmost photographical

approach of the face itself. The surroundings

can allmost be entitled as abstract work!

A very finely placed hand and the forceful colour red!

Difficult to find any of his works on the internet but

luckily enough he is on Facebook. Maybe Russia

will open his gates for his artists to become popular

in the rest of the world as Russian Art is really

worth looking at! Work on paper. 22 / 28 cm.
