Yaroslav Gerzhedovich

At the recommendation of the previously posted artist I now present another "Damn good Russian". Much of his work is taken up with mythology and allegory while other pieces are very traditional bucolic landscapes. Some of the best pieces are either somewhere in between or neither, but judge for yourself. And definitely go to his Flickr site to see incredibly elaborate details.













"The Alchemists"

















"The Damned City"

Why are so many Russian painters so damn good? I saw these recently on Flickr.com.
He's posted a host of detail shots which you really need to look through to get a good feel for the piece. Not many painters can pull of this Breugel-esque sort of style though I've seen others try and certainly none of them captured this kind of grand vision. Please, please click on these images to view them larger and then go to the link above and look through all those details!

Here's another update (see December 2008). Although this is not a new image (it's from 1999) he recently posted it on his Flickr site along with other details all in very large format so that you can get a really good look at the detail (click on the image!)

I like to update artists that I've posted before (see December 2008). She's got a new website up that looks very complete: popgoesart.com.
And hey, you can get t-shirts! Only 2 but what could be more pop?
