Description
Glad you liked the Park Ends here... Looking back, I see the church and the lady from my previous Regularity. Thank you very much.
This one is weird and really hard to classify.
I am more inclined to The Other Side of Mythology, but it's non-existent.

great textures.... nice job....
interesting and definitely thought provoking
Excellent composition. I like the way you divided the picture into to sections. One active ( dancing ) And one passive ( sitting ). Nicely done.
stunning!
Absolutely gorgeous Nikolay!
Extraordinary! Very very peculiar. I tell you, Nikolay, if ever you do that book, I shall be the first customer!
Such a strange image. Wonderful creation.
Very interesting. See this isn't a photograph and you've employed 2D and that is still a mystery to me but I like your outcome. Keep them coming. Bill
extraordinaire !
Quite fascinating, Tells me stories.
This is utterly fascinating, especially since I'm listening to the soundtrack to the film, "Frida" as I look at this. The effect is astonishing, though I have to say that your work, on its own--without musical accompaniment--is always superb and wonderfully moody and this is no exception. There are numerous stories in this image, numerous texts and subtexts to be read and all of them intrigue me. I love the composition, the references to both life as it's lived AND history. Superb work!
A wonderful tableau, and I love the title. Nicely done!
The people look ceramic in a way, or like some kind of statues, especially the man facing the woman (the light on his head brings out a ceramic quality to his skin). And that head facing us reminds me of images from science fiction or even horror stories. The image also has a feel of the revolutions of the early 1900s (don't know if that has anything to do with your title), like Russia during the revolution. And the backdrop is quite painterly. A very fascinating collage, filled with untold stories and leaving us feeling like we're eavesdropping on a particular place & particular time, we're allowed a glance and then we have to walk on filling in the rest of the story ourselves. I like your 2D work alot, Nikolay; it has the finesse of your photography, but it's painterly as well. A really suggestive collage...
Very intriguing work - Joseph Campbell called on the contemporary artist to create mythology anew from their own artistic force, as the West had so diluted and rendered empty it's inherited mythos. How the figures are posed, the 'veil' over half the field, those eyes staring at the viewer on the left, this just all works once seen - must have been a joy to do this.
To me, it's different ways to rest, for one it is being social and dancing, or interacting with other people, to another it is to sit alone and let the mind rest, letting it take in the surroundings without thinking, meditating perhaps on sounds and activities surrounding .. Even the rebellious need to relax both physically and mentally
сильный сюжет!!!
very thought provokig image.
This is really splenid Nikolay, love it in all ways ;O)
They seem very poised and in control. He's looking at her and she's looking at you. Playful.
Very well done!
