Igor PetrovPaul SaucierThe work of Russian painter Igor Petrov stems from thescientific understanding that all matter flows from theparticular to the general and that the universe is actually asystem of microcosms. Following Petrov’s creation of what hecalls “mosaics of space” in a style the artist has named “spacelogism,” all of the artist’s canvases are covered in vibrantactivity and striking color. Not one inch is left untouched by themomentum and energy cultivated by the artist’s implementationof rhythmic and repetitive lines. Avoiding the appearance ofrigidity in any sense, Petrov prefers to draw undulant contourswhich more effectively evoke the movement and fluctuationof the innumerable thoughts, emotions, and actions occurringthroughout our time and space.Trained as a realist painter, Petrov begin experimentingwith abstractions in 2005. Finding abstraction to be a betterrepresentation of the dynamic and constantly changinguniverse, he made the decision to paint only in the abstract,avoiding formulaic renderings or techniques. Striving torepresent all facets of existence through his oil paintings,Petrov’s content moves from the surrealistic to the geometric.He deems all forms and objects worthy of depiction as heworks to describe the cosmos through his artwork.Born in St. Petersburg, Igor Petrov lives and works in Russia.www.petroff-art.livejournal.comwww.Agora-Gallery.com/ArtistPage/Igor_Petrov.aspxSleep of Reason Oil on Canvas 28” x 20”La Pleine lune / The Full MoonOil on Sized Canvas48” x 16”strong sense of light, line and movement allows PaulA Saucier to create a distinctive world in his paintings.Water, land and sky are caught up in a swirl that is at timesclose to hallucinatory. The unity of motion and texture dissolvesthe various components of these pictures into a fluid universewhere the elements become nearly impossible to separate fromone another. A raging river’s surface is reflected in an adjacentcliff face, while a bird in flight is absorbed into the colors ofthe sky. Nature’s power is communicated, but it is nature ata remove. It is as if we have crossed over into the pages of achild’s storybook or the surface of an Henri Rousseau painting.The outside world is depicted, but we feel as if we are lookinginside the painter’s mind.Saucier, who lives and works in Quebec, says that he startsworking on his paintings by devising an “internal image,” onethat he puts together by recasting nature through “the prismof previously experienced emotions and feelings.” To putthose images onto canvas, he employs his dynamic paletteto transform them into personal symbols, giving his subjectsthe liveliness of the natural world while investing them withthe purity of icons. The conflicting energies that result engageviewers with forceful power.www3.sympatico.ca/paul.saucierwww.Agora-Gallery.com/ArtistPage/Paul_Saucier.aspx114 <strong>ARTisSpectrum</strong>
