Artist Basov Sergey: paintings - revived poetry

Sergey Basov is a native of Yoshkar-Ola. The name of this city sounds quite exotic for the Russian ear. And translated from the Mari language is very interesting - the "red city", that is, beautiful. It has a long cold winter and a warm summer. The capital of the Republic of Mari El is not too large - 265 thousand people. In such a cozy city and its surroundings you can carefully look into the wonderful corners of nature and, if there is a desire for it, try to transfer them first to paper, and only then to the canvas. So, it can be assumed, and the future artist Basov Sergey began as a child. The picture of nature, which he depicts, is now surprising. And it does not matter what exactly is depicted on them - the seasons or the time of day. They naturally, without strain, enter the soul of the one who saw them. This is our native space. They are close to one who walks on mushrooms, who early in the morning runs to the river to swim or wanders along the forest path in autumn, admiring the forest, which "looks like a painted church".

Artist Sergey Basov. Landscapes of the seasons

It is difficult to choose from a variety of works of the painter something concrete, because like absolutely everything. Here we see "Birch Grove". This is our Central non-Chernozem Russia in the summer. A grove of birches climbed up to the hillock. Below is a road that ends at the horizon, lost in a bluish haze. On the other side of the sandy road there is a descent, and it seems that behind the meadow and bushes behind it should flow a small clean river, whose banks are covered with grass-ant. And there, in the distance, where the visible road ends, the river makes a turn. And in the grove after a good summer rain and go mushrooms. And white, and krasnenkie, and black - so popularly called the boletus and podberezoviki. And all as for selection, krepenkie, heavy, with thick legs. An hour and a half, and the bucket or basket is full. There is no feeling that this is all drawn, but there is an impression of your personal presence. So draws the artist Basov Sergei. Pictures are full of life.

"Old Willows"

And here really the river has old trees. A hot noon. There is not enough only gay boys who would make a tarson with a homon, and, swaying on it, would jump into the cool, calm water of a quiet calm river. But it's still quiet. The water reflects the blue sky and the greenery of old trees. At the gently sloping shore, a quiet current does not prevent the duckweed from growing. Somewhere in the depths of the fish swim, and from the duckweed protrude with the croaking of a frog. The view is lovingly addressed to what the artist Basov Sergey has displayed. Pictures of Russian nature take for the soul.

"Early April"

The canvas is covered with a purple-lilac haze. Nature slowly awakens. A narrow river floats the remains of ice. There was no high water rise when snow melted. The banks stand under the spring blue sky with white clouds completely dry. There, where the sun warms more, the snow has completely come down. Last year's grass was exposed. Thin young trees covered the shore. Their stems are reflected in the water, as in a mirror, such a quiet and serene current. The river moves and does not move. Everything froze. Woodcocks will soon fly. For someone, the hunting season will open. But the fields are still white with snow. Next I want to quote F. Tyutchev. Everything is noticed, perhaps, inadvertently by the artist Basov Sergey. His paintings give the viewer a fantasy. This is also because the artist works in a classical academic manner. There is no need to solve riddles, like some artists who have thrown all their strengths into avant-garde or abstractions. Of course, life is diverse, and everything should be presented to the viewer, but the simple reality that man lives in reflects the landscapes of Sergei Basov. They are full of love and poetry.

Favorite Land - "Foggy Morning"

Indeed, the artist lovingly looks at the native spaces, and this love is transmitted to the viewer. The forest came very close to the river from both banks. Fog over the water is low. Here there is absolute silence. Only two pairs of wild ducks, without worrying about anything, found a shelter here. They are really calm and free. No one will disturb their privacy. Then they will bring out the ducklings, and in the autumn they will fly to the warm regions. Who has never bathed in the river in the morning, over which there is a fog, he can not imagine how hot water is. After the man shivered coldly in the cool morning air, he, plunging into the water, is amazed by her warmth. His water has been preserved since yesterday and now gives it away, covered in fog. Happy is the man who can come to the river on a daily basis and, having refreshed himself in it, keeps the feeling of freshness all day.

Conclusion

Lyrical images, created by the artist Sergei Basov. Landscapes convey nature in all its diversity. They have everything - the richness of forms and colors, the freshness of perception, the clarity of the transmission. Light and shadow play in his paintings. But its realism is not a copy of natural phenomena, but a rigorous selection, which allows us to better identify the essence of the phenomenon. In his works there is no diversity, they are full of harmony and, reflecting reality, show all the wealth of the surrounding world.
