Alexander Petrov – a brilliant master of drawing, painter, based on the traditions of Russian artistic culture of the late XIX – early XX centuries., Which is characterized by a direct reaction to the live nature of life itself.
Creative stuff that the viewer will see the exhibition – this is the tissue that forms the basis and the future of film. This is a painting on the films, the set of field sketches and photographs. Here, as in the artist, you can see the process of creating the film: a storyboard work on multipliers.
The exhibition is dedicated to the famous film director’s “My Love”, created by Ivan Shmelev novel “Love Story”, marked today by many international awards and Russian film festivals. The film “My Love” lasts 26 minutes. It is important to note that only 1 second animated film to 12 pictures! .. By simple calculation gives a staggering – the film has contained 18,720 original works!
For three and a half years to create thumbnails, thousands of pictures, hundreds of paintings in the films. This copyrighted material has an independent artistic value, but it remains behind the scenes, the viewer does not see it in the cinemas. The exhibition presents the works of talented professional artist.
For finding the characters are working with an artist’s model, and, prototypes for the characters and are often close to the director, and the portraits of the XIX century. The fact that the collective image – real people, only reinforces the impression. The artist does a lot of sketches in pencil, ink, pastel portraits in color, and then proceeds to the detailed design of the episodes. The figure of a hero or a landscape plan draws on the frosted glass transparent oil paint, which transmits light. The artist writes mostly hands – more precisely, the tips of the fingers, which gives the painting etyudnuyu lightness and freshness, creates an internal movement within the frame. This is a long, laborious, it is possible to tell – a jeweler’s work.
Fedor Khitruk: “Film” My Love “by Alexander Petrov tries to combine art and cinema, in fact – animated cinema and gaming. Its value is that it is made of a painter. Though any animator, in fact, primarily an actor. Petrov is in the difficult search for …. In the “My Love” is not such a tense storyline, as in “Old Man and the Sea” – is almost Turgenev’s story. And I myself thought a priori impossible to film Turgenev Shmelev. But recent years have shown that the horizons of animated films in Image of human actions and feelings are much broader than previously assumed. Sasha proved that animation is capable of doing that for the feature film is not available. “
