WORD OF THE PICTURE OF THE ARTIST ALEXEY PETROVICH AKINDINOV:
"Hush", 60 x 80 cm, oil on canvas, 2002
The picture "Hush" refers to the period of the search for diversity within my style of ornamentalism. During these years, I come to an interesting perception of the world and call it "threads." Instead of patterns, I depict threads in the plots of paintings. All of them are created with a brush and paints, I write each thread in the picture "by hand". Paintings of this period, as a rule, I painted first creating a structure on the canvas from the drawn threads of different colors, then, when the paint layer dried well, I wrote the plot of the picture on it. So I wrote a series of paintings: "Hush", "Discovery", "Graveyard", "Frosts", "Underwater Starship", "Waiting. Elena."
In the picture "Hush," I portrayed the baby’s bedroom. Evening is coming down to the city, the child has just fallen asleep in his crib, - probably mother read him a bedtime story. The lamp has not yet been extinguished; its light reveals the patterns of the carpet. These patterns are symbols of a child’s dreams. He went on his fabulous journey into the world of dreams. On the table in front of the window sits a toy - a dog, it protects the baby's dreams. Asters stand in a crystal vase on a windowsill. Outside the window in the cityscape, we see a train going into the distance. His wheels are tapping peacefully, taking our thoughts far beyond the horizon into the world of fantasies and magical dreams ... "
