THE PALACES EMPIRE (painting)

Description

Narrative

Tsar Peter the Great rules and is working to modernize the country. Inspired by Amsterdam he founded his St. Petersburg, surrounded by palaces and more than 40 canals. The winter palace ever built for the Russian tsars, now known as The Hermitage, is the home to a wealth of art. Two dancers of Matisse got off the hook and seem to run out of the painting, swirling on the roof of the Winter Palace and the many bridges of St. Petersburg. The church towers do not deny their origins, and get the face of peasant girls, the famous Matryoshka dolls. The revolutionary cruiser Aurora is calling but it is peaceful.

Toyism Paintings

Toyism paintings are nothing if not bizarre but recognizable imageries drawn from reality, the surreal, and fantasy. The intense play of lines, shapes, dots and colors is intended to help open the viewer’s mind. And to critical thinking about the human condition in the present day world. Toyism is figurative, contemporary and based on a story. These stories can cover all kinds of subjects, from happy to critical or serious subjects. Toyism paintings are very labour intensive. Every painting consist of several layers of paint. Making the colours bright and vibrant and able to withstand the test of time.

Paintings are created by a mixed group of professional artists from around the world with diverse cultural backgrounds and working in various disciplines. Yet all artists have a like-minded view of how to experience this art and inspire each other. No matter their own backgrounds or beliefs, everyone can express themselves in this style without losing their own value or feeling. Therefore every toyist can influence and enrich the style. Hence toyists tell their own story and depict it.
