Val Limonadoff (1983)
Val Limonadoff is a Russian artist and musician. In his paintings, the artist balances on the verge of surrealism and kitsch, both in story and style. Compositionally light and diagonally rhythmic works are, in essence, fantastic theses of pretentious reality that produce new chimeras and phantoms becoming a source of new illusions. This painting explores the concepts of reality and fiction and creates a new unresolved world. The emotional acuteness of the image is reinforced with deliberately rigid plasticity of the shape and thin paint surface that give an impression of conventionality. Despite the intense image, the work retains its inner harmony thanks to the balance of the elements.
