Additional Information: This unframed silkscreen by Igor Medvedev, entitled “#26,” is an example of the artist’s deep interest in the preservation of ancient towns and villages and wish to capture what he terms “Vanishing visual miracles.”  Many of Medvedev’s strengths are clearly demonstrated in this wonderful work.  You feel drawn into the doors with his skillful use of light and shadows.  The roses on the doorknobs invite you to cross over the threshold to step inside.  This piece evokes serenity and will quickly become one of the favorites in your collection.

About the Artist: Born in the Eastern Ukraine section of Russia, acclaimed California artist Igor Medvedev is known both for his original paintings and his especially masterful serigraphs.  Medvedev’s work draws the viewer into a world dominated by serene beauty, balance, and order. Strong clean forms and dramatic use of light and shadow are the hallmark of his warm, expressive style.   He travels extensively in Greece, Spain, Morocco and Turkey—and many of the places and things he portrays are thousands of years old.   His unique compositions and subtle use of shadow, line, and form evoke a timeless quality of images somehow familiar to us even though we may have never seen them before.
