Incredible paintings of the Russian artist Katika

Paintings on canvas and framing frames, photographs beloved and deified mask masters of Venice and tribal peoples, cave paintings, carpets dusty, and not very human eyes always desire to contemplate and to feel the art around you, the hand of man since ancient times and still continue to hang on the wall of favorite things to sweet home blossomed from the heat and laid down in these pieces of energy. Original ideas and forms begin to appear more and more often, but the electronic age and the era of digital media heavy and dense shadow, overshadow traditional arts. At someone it turns out to weave together tradition and innovation, and someone is going the other way, finding a new approach to techniques and materials two thousand years ago.





Knitting. What associations do you have with this word? Pictures from children's books in which the gray-haired old lady in spectacles, with a smile and spoke sitting in a chair, knitting socks for a grandchild; memories of childhood in which the mother prepares for you a brand new warm sweater; kittens, playfully assorted balls of wool in the chaos on the floor? For the sake of surprise I can say that I have this word recently associated with the eyes and a fragment of björk's face, looking at me beige, blue and pink colors of threads hanging drops down.

And as with many other works of the artist Katika, replaced the brush on a hook, and the paint on the threads. But the style it has not changed its bright images, modulations and harmonies, the unusual structure of the "narrative" flowed smoothly from the canvases of her paintings on a flexible fabric, capable of transmitting the volume and warmth directly through your hands, it is only necessary to touch to believe it completely.

In this direction, the crochet paintings crochet are very few! A big role in this

to play her mother, from early childhood gave her own passions — knitting and sewing, then there was art school and the College, the profession of jeweler and multiplier. It seems that all the skills are good for paving the road to your true vocation.

But, if abroad, crochet painting has its own fans and followers, in Russia, this art remains virtually unnoticed, to promote their projects at home was not easy. In contrast, for example, from Japan. There, in Tokyo, visitors of the two exhibitions of our compatriot from Yaroslavl (CATIC can be considered as a resident of this city and Moscow with Yekaterinburg), could literally touch the process of creating paintings in the halls, except for one piece portraits of celebrities and charismatic people were exposed to fragments of their faces, representing the stages of work on them, being in themselves complete works separately. How warm winter knitted scarves or blankets, as well as its warmth and share these things, therefore, the success of these exhibitions was provided.

After she began sharing her first works through the Internet, on social networks, wishing to see them close by began to gain more and more, and now orders her already sometimes have to give one small portrait at the time of manufacture may take about a week.





Themes get completely different portraits of known personalities, glow in the dark figures, allegories on human feeling, volume of the body and their muscles in miniature, animals exotic and languid towns, epic image of the car in the end! A good artist will always find space in their works where it will be well to any audience.





So why is the art, time tested, having acquired a new look, not been able to awaken in the people of our country have interest? The lack of artists involved in this? After all, they can be counted on the fingers of one hand, "competitors" Katika are still only on the other side of the shore. Fear of something new or unwillingness to see the traditions of the capacity for change? Not a single scarves, ladies and gentlemen! The thread hook is capable of in capable hands ahead of and current trends in digital pleasures and the "classic" examples of painting. Maybe it's just the lack of information about it. People are busy pressing problems, news about the military operations, the job search and effective diets regardless of the need of them, time to vysmatrivaya art projects is less, and the coverage of our topics has received less attention.

Anyway, we all strongly connected with the art, a trained eye will find its beauty at once, and the one that is looking and forgot what she looks like, still stumble on it by sheer luck, the time will come. published
