VLADIMIR KUSH

(If you like Kush, you'll love GLEN TARNOWSKI)

Original Paintings - Sculptures - Limited Edition Prints

VLADIMIR KUSH was born in 1965 in Moscow. Vladimir Kush's career as an artist began when he was a toddler. As a child of 3 or 4, Vladimir Kush would sit on his father’s lap finishing his drawings. His father, a huge influence on him, was a scientist (differential equations specialist).

Vladimir Kush attended art school after his regular high school until 9 p.m. Art school was a world of a new inspiration. The class Kush attended allowed total artistic freedom. The art school Vladimir Kush attended was focusing on a Cezanne style of painting, which Kush began to emulate at the age of 14. Soon bored with it, Vladimir Kush painted his first surreal picture. When Vladimir Kush was 17, he entered Moscow Art Institute.

When Vladimir Kush was 18, he entered into a mandatory two-year stint of military service where Kush was allowed to paint murals and big canvases. Of course, Vladimir Kush had to include military elements in these romantic or even fantastic landscapes. Kush's free time was spent painting surrealistic pictures, which he had to hide from the commanders.

In 1987, Vladimir Kush began selling his paintings and exhibiting with the Union of Artists. Vladimir Kush drew political caricatures for a newspaper (using Uncle Sam as a main character), and painted portraits on the streets in the heart of Moscow. At that time, Kush was invited to paint a series of portraits for the U.S. Embassy staff. Vladimir Kush eventually had to curtail his work on these portraits after the KGB became suspicious of his involvement with Americans. At that time, Vladimir Kush first saw a book with Salvador Dali works.

Vladimir Kush had a successful show in Germany in 1990 with two other Russian artists. Kush then flew to Los Angeles, where he had sent 20 of his recent works for a showing. This was a beginning of his American odyssey. Here, Vladimir Kush would commence the search for his artistic language and brighten his palette.

OTHER WORLDS - 12 x 16 - Edition size: 100

Everything in the surrounding world is connected one to another. The distant planets of the Solar system and the tiny dew drops – they all strive to their centers. Planets are running along its orbits being attracted by the Sun; the dew drop hangs on the leaf in the morning being attracted by the Earth… Comprehension of that internal unity brings the beauty and order into our perception of the world.

HARDWOOD SOFTWARE - 13 x 17 - Edition size: 250

The birds are singing in the woods, the ‘music of the woods” is heard. But how can we find out the news? The forest is big, and it is hard to run around, looking for the foxes and wolves. They were here just yesterday sitting so quietly, that you could hear a mosquito flying by. It would be nice to hear the report of the rabbit by the bear’s liar. They say that bear’s family just had new born twins. It would be great to see these charming kids on the screen, even in record. Our spiders have weaved the membrane web and cast it to the Universal Spider. Internet is working! Even a mouse will come in the evening to watch the serial about the bears called “Life of the famous animals”

SACRED BIRD OF YUCATAN

The rotating Ferris wheel embodied in the image of mythical Phoenix bird enchants people by its powerful beauty and promise of unprecedented shows and adventures. They do not think of danger. Greedily sucks the Firebird more and more people transforming them into the prisoners of its shining tail eyes, into the captives of its charms. According to ancient myths, the fiery Phoenix dance will end in five hundred years when energy of rotation suddenly bursts into flames and only a heap of ashes remains. Then the prisoners will leave their blue eye-cells. But Phoenix is said to resurrect from ashes in all its splendor and temptation ever again attracting the human nature.

FLOWN WITH THE WIND - 13.5 x 17 - Edition: 100

The powerful breath of wind brings us freedom from the heavy burden of the past, we experience a dream-like sensation of flying to the new horizons. But a swarm of people sailing into uncertainty against the crimson sky background is also a bright metaphor of the dramatic nature of our life. You guess right - the name of the painting is a paraphrase of the great novel "Gone with the Wind" in which not only people are gone forever but the entire civilization of the Old South. But we nonetheless believe that the diaspora of courageous aeronauts will fall on the rich soil and germinate giving rise to the new civilizations.

MOONLIGHT SONATA

The passionate ardor of pianist “inspires” the instrument, the folds of curtain, and figures of spectators, creating a sensation of imminent takeoff. The music reaches its peak emphasized by the solemn red coloring of the painting. Its streams soar to the concave mirror of the moon, and, focused by it, return to the scene. The reflected flow carries the magical energy of the moon, causing mysterious transformations all around. We see as the spectators are shrouding themselves in spectral cocoons, or acquiring something like butterfly wings. The play of light patches on the piano and glimmering reflections on the curtain create a unique sensation of a butterfly fluttering its wings.
