Restless Automatic translate

The "Neugomonnykh" group was founded over 15 years ago and has become a unique community of artists united by a common idea: "Beauty will save the world." It all began with an exhibition at the Central House of Artists, which the participants titled "Five Restless Ones Still Dance in the Meadow." This line from a poem by Japanese poet Yesa Buson perfectly captures the spirit of the creative team.

Artists from different cities meet for plein air painting sessions and exhibitions, observing each other’s work with great interest, exchanging ideas and techniques while maintaining their individuality. This creates a unique atmosphere within the group.

Despite the diversity of styles and approaches, they are united by a desire to see and convey the beauty of the world. Each artist contributes to the richness of forms, color combinations, and imagery. Together, they create a remarkable tapestry called "Art," intertwining the threads of their creative inspirations to form a holistic understanding of the beauty that surrounds us.

To achieve this, the artist draws on the subtle, transitional states of nature, complex color palettes, exquisite textures, and meaningful combinations of objects.

Creative credo: "I consider realism not figurativeness in art, but the highest degree of artistic precision, dependent on the artist’s natural psychophysical gifts. Using the figurative components of one’s talent, I perfect the works I create."

Born on November 8, 1948 in Tomsk Oblast.

Graduated from the Krasnoyarsk Art School named after V. I. Surikov (1964-1968). Moscow State Art Institute named after V. I. Surikov (workshop of E. A. Kibrik) (1971-1977).

He regularly participates in group exhibitions in Russia and abroad (Palermo, 2003; London, 2010 (shortlisted); Milan, 2011; New York, 2012).

"In painting, I try to express the inner state of a motif and my attitude toward it. Everything I do stems from the nature of what I see. The goal is to sharpen the situation and convey it in its infancy. The search for such an expressionistic solution determines the composition, language, and color."

The magazine "Russian Art & Paris" described Petr Chekantsev as an artist of great scale and wide range, captivating the viewer with the drama of sensations and the temperament of his characterizations.
