Maslov Vladimir - oil on carton 46 x 56 MASLOV VLADIMIR VLADIMIROVICH (1934 - 2020) Vladimir Maslov is a gifted artist. His work is at the intersection of high professionalism and folklore. The texture of his paintings is unusually bold, and his poetics are realistic and do not go beyond traditional genres: portrait, landscape, still life. He paints in an expressive manner, the space of his canvases is filled with spots of light and shadow, conveying the sensations of the elements: air, water, fire, earth, and luminous sharp lines applied with a palette knife add drama and tension to the plot. For almost half a century, Maslov has lived in the village of Bely Gorodok on the banks of the Volga, 150 km from Moscow. Proximity to the aorta of Russia, the Volga, affected his deep understanding, intuitive feeling of the fate of Russia and human nature; It’s not for nothing that the artist’s house stands only thirty meters from the river. The simple subject of the paintings - the banks of the “Russian Nile”, Volga pines, haystacks in the snow, the streets of his native village - contains a subtle spiritual component.
