One of the biggest pleasures for me is a collaboration with talented artists in other fields. I importune many of my friends with «Let’s do something cool together», and sometimes it works out. Recently I made a collaboration project with a swiss ceramic artist Bettina Ammann.

We met at her studio, where Bettina has already prepared few beautiful simple bowls:

While Bettina prepares the glaze, I’m observing the studio.

It’s always interesting, to see other people’s workplaces.

Some objects look strange and inspiring:

Now it is my turn to work. I never worked neither with glaze, nor with a ceramic pencil… I try to do my best, but it doesn’t behave as I expected! However, the process is very exciting.

Bettina makes some final touches with transparent glaze:

And this is what we finally have.

something new: transparency and layers

Mon, 03 Oct 2011 09:19:00 +0200

I’m exploring two levels transparent framing. These two works go in October to Affordable Art Fair in UK (with 9 more).

I named this picture: «Why?»

and this one: «A tea before»

In the middle of the process:

and some more mushrooms are waiting for better days:

Btw, I read a cool article about intelligence of mushrooms (in Hebrew). It seems that they are definitely more complicate and mysterious creatures than I imagined.

another sketchbook

Sun, 03 Jul 2011 22:49:11 +0200

I have to count once, how many sketchbooks do I already have, because people keep asking me. I answer «a lot». I guess, around 25-30. Every sketchbook is really different, some are old are from the art academy, some — from travel, from work, and they contain all the interesting things I can find and stick or draw. I carry my sketchbook everywhere with me and really feel it is kind of my «home», my private space, where I can hide while drawing. So, I invite you to see my inspiration, sketches and the way of thinking.

mirror, mirror on the wall

I like when something that looks like art pops up from unexpected places. Like a mirror effect on my web camera — for days I’m absolutely ensorcelled by it’s accidental symmetry.

in front of me now...

See the old porcelain statuette in the middle? I got from my grandma. And she got it from her pupils while being a teacher of Russian literature and language in Minsk. It used to stand in the the buffet, behind the glass, and as a child I was forbidden to play with it. Of course I took it out of the buffet when nobody was around. But, well, it wasn’t so interesting to play with it anyway. Later, I read Gogol’s «Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka» and recognized that scene. Cool book, btw — ukranian fantastic realism :)

Two puppet heads next to it I bought in a puppet-workshop in Burma. It was to heavy to carry around the whole dolls in backpack. The funny bird with long legs and a gramophone next to it I bought on a flea market in Jaffa. And a little bear in the left corner — it’s a Russian Winnie-the-Pooh, yes, Russian Winnie-the-Pooh is black! But this one has also unusual long gray fur. My dad was carrying it around as a talisman. Then gave it to me, when we met after 17 years.
