Exhibition "Seraphim Charkin. Familiar and new ", Odesa

We, the audience and the fans are always trying to determine the place of the artist (especially if it`s a good artist) in art history; if possible, give the name of his creative manner.

Seraphim Charkin no exception.

At first glance his work - classic French expressionism (Georges Rouault): sharp compositional rhythms; characterized by a clear pattern in gray and black tones, decomposing form and convey the emotional intensity of the works.

However, this coincidence (purely technical) and ends. The main objective of expressionism - to show how unfair and cruel world.

The main objective of Charkin - play ode Life and Joy.

All sailors and musicians, still lifes and nude model Charkin expressive warm! If the work of masters and refer to Expressionism, then to a special - festive and humanistic.

In the East Kazakhstan region, along with the classic for Seraphim Charkin harmonious gray-blue or pale pink works exhibited new works in which the palette complemented by contrasting, bright enough or dark colors.

Such works are more dynamic, they can feel the tension and strength. This is probably the artist`s reaction to the painful "evolution" of his (and our) world around.
